Glen draws inspiration from various streams of music. His early influences stemmed from the pop stylings of Jason Mraz and the soulful funk of the Bee Gees. As his song-writing progressed, his formal education in jazz through the bachelor's degree laid foundational grounds for his music. Glen drew deeper inspiration from contemporary folk, jazz & soul music, combining the classic sounds of 70s motown stylings & singer-songwriter folk story telling with new age Neo-Soul/R&B, his strongest modern influences being D’angelo & Leon Bridges. Glen has a keen ear for delicate melodies, combining his folk writing with R&B/jazz/soul colors, Glen has morphed his song-writing and style to something he can call his own, gravitating towards a cinematic, indie, soulful experience.
