Raymond Wilson (born 8 September 1968) is a Scottish singer and guitarist, known as the vocalist of the post‑grunge band Stiltskin and for his tenure as the lead singer of Genesis from 1996 to approximately 1999. Before forming the band Guaranteed Pure in the early 1990s — featuring Ray Wilson (vocals), Paul Holmes (keyboards), Steve Wilson (guitars), John Haimes (bass) and Chris Cavanagh (drums) — Wilson had joined the Edinburgh band Strategy in 1987, recording and independently releasing a demo titled Second Move. Guaranteed Pure released an album called Swing Your Bag, whose title track appeared on the compilation The Funny Farm Project: Outpatients ’93, issued on Fish’s label. Wilson’s breakthrough came in 1994, when he became the lead vocalist for the post‑grunge band Stiltskin. Their debut single “Inside” topped charts across Europe, including Germany, boosted by its use in a Levi’s commercial. In both the UK and Germany, “Inside” became a defining hit, with rock radio and MTV propelling Stiltskin into the spotlight almost overnight. The album The Mind’s Eye received critical acclaim as a strong and underrated release, with Wilson’s vocals described as “terrific” and “flawless.”
