Q&A WITH GLENN JONES
What is your Name? Where are you from and what first got you interested in the entertainment industry?
My name is Glenn Jones I’m from Jacksonville Florida. I got interested in music while growing up in church.
Who and/or what inspires you to create?
I’ve been inspired by so many artists from the 60’s up until now.
THE CREATIVE PROCESS
How would you describe your sound?
I believe my sound is a combination of soul Gospel, Pop and R&B.
What is your creative process like?
I like to come up with the subject matter and then the melody, then the groove.
What artist(s) would you like to collaborate with?
Most of the artists that I would want to calibrate with are no longer with us. People like Aretha, and Whitney. But, it would be a thrill to do something with Lala Hathaway, or Musiq Soulchild.
SWITCHING GEARS
What is one message you would give to your supporters?
The message I would like to send my supporters is thank you for all of the love you’ve given me over
the years.
What is the most talent/skill you have that most people don’t know about?
I taught myself to play guitar when I was 14 years old, and that I’m a pretty decent cook.
What would you be doing right now, if you weren’t doing music?
If I wasn’t in the music business, I really don’t know what I would be doing. Music is something I’ve
done all of my life.
What is the best advice you’ve received?
The best advice I’ve received is to always be in the know. Always know and understand what’s
going on in your business.
IN CLOSING
Who are some artists that you admire?
I’ve always admired Stevie Wonder for being such a trendsetter and because of the influence he had on
so many musicians and singers including me.
If you could change anything about the industry, what would it be?
I would change how music is judged. It shoud be ranked upon quality and substance. Rather than being based on popularity, or size of your marketing budgets.
What’s next for you? Where would you like to see yourself in the next year?
I have completed project that I’m about to release and hopefully will be touring in support of this new
project.
What is your social media? How can people get in contact with you?
