Since he was 14 he also started playing in big bands. This triggered his love for jazz and pop music. So, after his graduation in Maastricht, he spent a year living in a studio he built, where he composed and recorded numerous tracks and demos, as well where he prepared his next educational move. This studio moved to his present home, and is still active for composing Film Music, and live recordings.
In 2003 he enters the Conservatory of Antwerp, but this time for Jazz Music with Nico Schepers, Kurt Van Herck, Jozef Dumoulin, Erwin Vann, Fre Desmyter, ... In 2009 Glenn gets his Masters Degree in Jazz.
In 2007 he also starts a Master study of Economics & Management (Major International Relations) in Brussels, which he sees to combine with his musical endeavors.
Right now, Glenn is a demanded freelance player in hornsections for Latin, Jazz, Pop & Funk. He also composes for his own Electric Quartet (EQ) www.myspace.com/electricquartet and freelance music for film.
