Debut Artist Glenn Wilson

Debut Artist Glenn Wilson is a name that you will start to hear more often. With his fourth single, ‘For A Fool’, just released on June 9th, 2011, I’m not the only new fan to come aboard!
IM: Glenn, how was the process of making your latest single ‘For A Fool’?
GW: “I really enjoyed working on ‘For A Fool’. It’s hard to believe that I wrote that song back in 1996 and it has just been recorded.
IM: You seriously wrote that song back in 1996?
GW: (Laughing) “Yes. I tried recording a couple of songs back then but I was never happy with the final product. The technology in home recording studios back then was very limited and it really showed. Now that I’ve finally entered into the studio, I have this whole backlog of old material.”
IM: How do you feel about working with some of your songs that are 15 years old…or older?!
GW: “I’ve really been selective in what I’m recording. There are songs that I would have recorded back then…that I wouldn’t do now.”
IM: You must be tired of hearing some of those songs are you?
GW: “Some of those songs I used to play live when they were first written. The recording process keeps it very fresh and up-to-date. I really enjoy the creative process and finally laying down some tracks so that others can hear them. Because up until now…they’ve only been in my head.”
IM: Has your song writing improved over the years?
GW: “I would like to think so (laughs). I think that my fans will be in for a treat as the singles continue to be released. Eventually there will be a full album. I can’t stand albums with 10 or 12 songs on them. I’m really aiming to have around 15 songs on my first album. Of course, it depends on how much we can cram onto a disc!”
IM: Now that your fourth single has just been released, are you working on your next single?
GW: “I’m in the studio baby! The next single is really exciting. It will be my ‘heaviest’ to date. I don’t mean heavy metal, but it’s definitely alterative rock. I’ve done a couple of slow songs already and it’s time to speed things up. I don’t want to be known for just ‘sappy’ songs.”
IM: You’re actually known to be quite the guitarist as well. Tell me about your guitar work?
GW: “Well I’ve been playing guitar since I was 14 years old. Over the years I feel that I’ve improved. I play the rhythm and lead guitars on all my recordings. So when you’re listening to my latest single, ‘For A Fool’, that’s me playing the lead and rhythm guitars.”
IM: Well thanks for talking with me today and best of luck to you.
GW: “Thank you very much.”
IM: Where can people buy your music?
