STUDIO

Glen Alan

Producer

Glen Alan, a graduate of the Humber College Music Program (1996) began his recording and engineering career in earnest 1998 when studied recording with engineer and musician John Ferreira. From his humble home studio beginnings Glen learned quickly and soon was engineering, producing and arranging the songs of others. His keyboard, vocal and musical experience proved invaluable and over time his studio and recording clientele began to grow.

In 2005 while attending Harris Institute For The Arts as a part-time student he met and formed a friendship with Kevin Cameron and in a year's time they had completed major renovations and expanded Find A Way Recording Studios on 32 Monarch Park. When Kevin graduated Harris in 2006 he was hired as an engineer for Find A Way Studios and Glen made the jump from engineering to producing and since that time Glen has produced hundreds of sessions at Find A Way Studios.

Glen's strength as a producer is his ability to take a client's song and strengthen it compositionally with his own distinctive and creative musical signature. A competent session singer, programmer and keyboardist himself, Glen is able to work with a wide range of instruments and styles to produce great results. Being a supportive team player and a competent musician himself Glen can speak easily to musicians and session players alike to get the best performance possible for his client.
