Glenn Lewis
Biography
Canadian-born singer/songwriter Glenn Lewis' sensational debut for Epic, World Outside My Window, was like a breath of fresh air when it was issued on March 19, 2002, just two days before the first day of spring. The buzz had been building around Lewis due to the album's lead single, "Don't You Forget It," which has a strong Stevie Wonder influence. The singer freely lists Wonder, Donny Hathaway, and Gap Band-lead singer Charlie Wilson as some of his musical idols.

Born and raised in Toronto, Lewis' family musical roots are strong, as his father was the lead singer of Crack of Dawn and the catalyst for Lewis' love for Wonder's music, as he played the Motown artist's records around the house frequently. With both his parents being musicians, he'd accompany them to the recording studio. He didn't really start considering music as his calling until his teen years, when he began writing songs. As a lark, Lewis entered a talent show at his high school. He won the audience over by performing Wonder's "I Just Called to Say I Love You."

After graduating from high school, Lewis began recording demos with musician-friend Alex Greggs, while holding down day jobs at McDonald's or being a shoe salesman.
