Glenn spent most of his young life as a saxophone student studying in Allen Park, Michigan and at the National Music Camp in Interlochen, Michigan. In 1980, Glenn started playing guitar and bass. From 1982-1984, Glenn was the lead guitarist and one of the primary song writers of the group Conditioned Response.

From 1982 to present day, Glenn has also composed and recorded his own music under the name of his studio project 121normal.

The CD was co-produced, mixed and mastered by Greg Howard.
