Glenn Swan, from New Orleans, started playing guitar at the age of 10. At 13, Glenn auditioned for, and was accepted to, the prestigious New Orleans Center for Creative Arts (NOCCA). During this period, Glenn studied with the great Jazz educator Ellis Marsalis. Mr. Marsalis has brought to fruition many great musicians. including his two sons Wynton and Branford, as well as other former students Terence Blanchard, Reginald Veal & Harry Connick Jr. By the time Glenn reached 15, he was supporting himself professionally playing in the many New Orleans area jazz clubs. Glenn credits his father Manfred, a great singer & folk musician, for inspiring him to make a career of music. Upon graduation from NOCCA, Glenn accepted an invitation to the famed Berklee College of Music in Boston. Majoring in Production & Engineering of Music, Glenn says that, "I became serious about playing piano because it is the principal instrument for arranging music." Learning to produce tracks at Berklee under his mentor Michael Burrell, Glenn had the opportunity to work with a lot of great singers and through that influence, became involved in singing the background harmonies. It was here that Glenn had the revelation that he wanted to expand from playing jazz guitar and focus on being a recording artist and producer.

It was here that he met Vincent Davis, Keith Sweats manager. Vincent Davis became a powerful influence on Glenn and through this relationship, Glenn signed to Warner/Elektra Records. Though under contract for 4 years, no record was ever commercially released, and eventually Glenn won his release from his Artist contracts and decided to put his focus primarily on producing records.
