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.

Time Soon Come
Glenn Lewis Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Slowly counting down the days
My desire was strong and I know she gonna put me on
She the kind of girl to make you change
It's holding hands and dinner dates
On top of the coast lay in sand
But I know that she got needs and patientlyI'm waiting till she says today is the day
[Chorus]
I put in the work , put in the work
Anything you need consider it done
Your wish is my command understand
I'm hoping the time soon comes
We can get down to the business
Down to the business
Down to the business of love
I play by your rules keep it cool
Long as the time soon comes
I like my girls in high heels
Supplying her designer thrill
I'm confessing I invest for the turn,
Even if they don't ask the love that's real
I don't wanna wait in vein
Looks so good tonight is a shame
However long it takes to put the weight
I just need to hear your call on my name
[Chorus]
I put in the work , put in the work
Anything you need consider it done
Your wish is my command understandI'm hoping the time soon comes
We can get down to the business
Down to the business
Down to the business of love
I play by your rules keep it cool
Long as the time soon comes
Have no fear now that the time is here
I'll do you right my dear
I know what you're searching for
A non-selfish love of a life time
I am here so let the fun begin
'Cause I'm coming up that's square
Gonna start all over
Over and over again
[Chorus)
I put in the work , put in the work
Anything you need consider it done
Your wish is my command understand
I'm hoping the time soon comes
We can get down to the business
Down to the business
Down to the business of love
I play by your rules keep it cool
Long as the time soon comes
