Wilburne was grounded in church from a tender age, but when he reached the age of eleven, his family elected to let him join his church choir. Continuing to improve on his raw talent, he also joined his school and the national youth choirs in his country. Wilburne's passion for music continued to blossom as he grew, and as a teenager, he began composing his own songs. From that time Wilburne knew that he wanted to become a gospel artiste.
