About Me

Alan Glass Music... When Alan Glass starts a project, he brings with it years of experience of working with some of the greatest names in music business history. Starting as a young man with his brother Preston Glass, they met legendary songwriter Thom Bell. Thom immediately recognised the fledgling talent that the brothers possessed and signed them to his Mighty Three publishing company. In the years that followed, Thom schooled them in the art of song writing resulting in covers for world-class artists such as Aretha Franklin, The Stylistics, The Temptations & George Benson the Spinners and Jermaine Stewart ['We Don't Have to Take Our Clothes off"]. Having learned their trade with one of the worlds' greatest writers, they decided to strike out by themselves forming a production company that in the late Eighties dominated the US R&B charts, scoring huge hit records with the likes of Kenny G, Earth Wind & Fire, Phyllis Hyman, Sheena Easton, Jenifer Holiday & Imagination. Since his arrival in the UK, Alan's compositions have graced albums by Maxi Priest, Junior Giscombe, Gwen Dickey, Ruby Turner, Lighthouse Family - 2 million copies - and Aswad - 1 million. Additional cuts on Platinum albums by Worlds Apart, Human Nature and Caught In The Act have also helped to build Alan's reputation as one of the most prolific writers of quality Pop & R&B songs in the business. Cuts have since come thick and fast with Alan hitting the Top 20 with Kelle Bryans' 'HIGHER THAN HEAVEN' - No.14, 2 cuts on Ultimate Kaos (Mercury) album and a track for EMI's group Precious. Recent writing trips to Australia have also borne fruit with a No.1 album with Bardot. 2001 brought success in the form of UK Garage sensations Mis-Teeq. The acts' phenomenal success is attributed to their first two singles, both co-written by Alan. 'WHY?' reached No.8 in January 2001 and the follow up. 'ALL I WANT', reached No.2 in the UK charts and has subsequently sold over 200,000 units. Mis-Teeqs' Debut LP, 'Lickin' On Both Sides' contains 4 tracks co-written by Alan and entered at No 3 in the UK charts and is heading fast toward Double Platinum status.With a US release recently confirmed. More recently he has been working on a plethora of acts including the German 'Pop Stars' No Angels (Universal) for whom he has written the new single as well as another album track. 'Pop Stars' turned Superstars Liberty X (V2) have also enjoyed the Glass treatment with a track on their now Triple Platinum debut album. Other recent notable cuts include songs recorded by Audrey Hannah (EMI/Capitol) and Oezlem for WEA Germany.
