After high school, Glenn began recording demos and performing at nightclubs, eventually becoming a respected act in Toronto. He parlayed this success into the release of his first single, "The Thing To Do," in 1998 on Beat Factory/BMG. The song won him a Juno Award for Best R&B Recording. His second single, "Bout Your Love," earned him a Juno nomination.
This exposure eventually landed him a deal with Epic Records. Glenn's debut album, World Outside My Window, was released on March 19, 2002. Fueled by the hit single "Don't You Forget It," the album peaked at #4 on the Billboard charts. He promoted the album by touring with R&B singers Alicia Keys and Tweet, among others.
In 2002, Lewis recorded a cover version of "Superstition" for the tribute album, Conception: An Interpretation of Stevie Wonder's Songs. Glenn also makes a brief appearance in the 2002 film Maid in Manhattan starring Jennifer Lopez and Ralph Fiennes. He contributed the song "Fall Again" to the film's soundtrack. A concert DVD, Glenn Lewis Live, was released in 2003.
Glenn prepared his sophomore album, Back For More for release in 2003. The first single, also titled "Back For More," and featuring rapper Kardinal Offishall, was released to radio and a video began to air. Unexplicably, the album was pushed back, first to later in the year, then to 2004. It remains unreleased. In the meantime, Glenn netted a Grammy nomination for his contribution to Stanley Clarke's "Where Is The Love", a duet also featuring Amel Larrieux.
Glenn left Epic Records in 2005, and is currently signed to Underdog Entertainment. According to Glenn's MySpace page, a new album, Remember Me, will see release in the spring of 2007.

Something To See
Glenn Lewis Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Could start again, fulfill a dream
Read that somewhere we would find, paradise
Walls of change have clearly fell
Sure with loves cry out for help
If you'd only try with me and see that we
Should be trying to find a 'cause Before a problem flaws
But know that just to be with, you in a love that truly free
That could be you and me
It was something to see, 'cause you know we're too far gone
To ever be, the same way we been so long
It was something to see, we can make it if we hold on
The way it should be, with love leading us along
Love so beautiful to me, now's the chance for all to see
All you need is to believe, that love's the key
With peace between us, you and me, then a crystal city's where we could be
Then there'd be no mystery, just free to be
Only trying to find a cause,
Before a problem flaws
But know that just to be with you, and in love was all it was
It should ever be because
It was something to see cause you know we're too far gone
To ever be, the same way we been so long
It was something to see, we can make it if we hold on
The way it should be, with love leading us along, love leading us along
