Glenn Shayne, how long have you been working on music and what inspired you to start?
I've been almost all of my life. I started writing poems in gradeschool free verse. In high school I would play around with words for lyrics.

I Grew up in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Just a normal childhood. Played sports, my best sport was bowling. Liked going to sporting events. Saw epic battles in NBA games with the Milwaukee Bucks. When they had Kareem Adul-Jabbar. Memorable baseball games with the Milwaukee Brewers. Packer and Wisconsin Badger games.



So Glenn, tell us about the Glenn's Quarterdeck Lounge; Where did this idea come from?
Its was a landmark called Skip's Quarterdeck Lounge. In Treasure Island, Florida. The Club became availabe, from the owner who bought it from Skip.

By bringing in road bands from around the Country. Glenn's Quarterdeck Lounge, became the premier Nite Club in the Tampa Bay Area for three years. From 1983-1986 we rocked 7 nights a week. Everyone knew where to go for live entertainment. We had TV commericals, print ads, radio commericals and special events.

We had famous people stop by. Hulk Hogan who was the WWF champion at the time, now the WWE. Jerry Goldsmith who was on vacation, who made most of the movie sound tracks stopped in. Members of YES, came in after there concert.

It was cool, you never knew who would stop in at any time. We also had bands that were touring stop in after their shows.

I'm currently Working with Tunedly, I get to work with amazing professional musicians. too many to name.

I've also hired some vocalists from Fiverr. Christina who sings Your Love Bleeds In Me. Along with AJ Lewis who sings in To Be Your Man. I've been adding contant to my spotify and Pandora. Where I have Glenn Shayne Radio.



What has been your favorite moment of being in the music industry so far?
Seeing how a song comes to life. Starting with the lyric to the composing. Using real instruments, we don't cut corners in my songs.


So tell us about your music, what projects are you currently working on?
I'm writing lyrics all the time. Just finished Fallin', getting ready to finish I'm Nobody's Eye Candy. A country rock song for a female vocalist. I'm hoping to do songs on a regular basis. Where we can release about 4 songs a yeas as singles. I would love to get my songs into movies, tv and commericals. Just don't have a good avenue or connections for that.

I'm Going to put all of my new songs together and release an album also. To support the singles. Sometime in 2021 to release the album.  I hope it showcases all of the collaborators that I'm working with.

Tell us about the track, "Why are You Forbidden"
Well  its about a forbidden love. You know you want something, but the other person has other ideas. The lyrics really tell the story.  The track is featuring Dusty Hughes.



Are there any last remarks? 
Can't wait. to make more songs. I am creating a market for the songs. I'd love to have a major artist pick up any of my songs. My fan base is growing all of the time.

Michelle Rose Exclusive Interview

  Q:  What's it like growing up in Mpls?   Does the city have interesting stories about Prince?     A:  I only lived in Minneapolis until I was three, but I have fond memories of it.  Even now that I live in a suburb of Minneapolis, I still feel like I'm a part of Minneapolis.  I think a lot of Minnesotans have "Minneapolis Pride", even if they don't live in Minneapolis.  Minneapolis has so many fun things to see and do, and the arts are very important here, with so many theaters and live shows.     Prince put us on the map for music.  I hear Prince stories everywhere I go in Minnesota.  I've met so many people who were associated with Prince, including one of his dancers, and even a former Paisley Park employee working as a cashier at the local grocery store, so I've heard many Prince stories.  I wish I could've been a Chanhassen resident when Prince was still alive, because I know that many Chanhassen residents saw him casually riding his bike around

My uncle lived with us back in    Ohio then and he played the drums. I grew up with a Rock band practicing in my basement.    I did not know it at the time but this little town I lived in knew how to rock. When did music become your main interest and what lead you to take music so seriously?   When I was 13 I saw my first rock concert. It was The kinks (one for the road tour.)    It changed me instantly. Suddenly that was the only thing I wanted to do.    To this day I'm still doing it. My guitar obsession had just started and    I did take some music theory lessons as well. I began learning how to create music or write a song.    I recently worked with two clasical Violinist. A Saxsaphone player and a Pianist. The Music theory lessons did pay off as I was able to talk to them in a launguage they understood.  Being a Singer
