About
Introducing Glen Bruce: a Bostonian maverick whose life journey has been a symphony of culinary rebellion, traumatic circumstance and introspective exploration. Born and bred in the crucible of New England, Glen defied convention early on, trading in his executive chef hat for a passport and a guitar, determined to make his mark on the World in unconventional ways.
Eventually touching down in the sun-kissed haven of Hawaii, Glen hustled coconuts and immersed himself in the island vibes forging deep connections with the land and its people. Fate had grander plans for Glen though. Through chance encounters and cosmic collisions, Glen unleashed his culinary wizardry, crafting a vegan coconut ice cream so divine it became truly legendary, earning him the moniker "Coconut Glen…the Ice Cream Wizard."

Yet, amidst the swirl of sugar and scoops, Glen's heart beat to a different rhythm- a primal call to unleash his inner musician and set fire to the airwaves with his raw, unapologetic music. Glen poured his soul into an album that's part confession, and part defiance… weaving tales of love, loss, pain and existential wanderlust into a sonic tapestry that slices through the noise with a razor-sharp edge.
The evolution of this music wasn't without its trials...
After a traumatic incident in the beginning of 2020 happened, before the apocalypse, Glen spent three weeks in the hospital and then returned to Hawaii with his ribs broken and his jaw wired shut. He was then slapped with a false charge and battled a corrupt Government cover-up for four long painful years. While shouldering the grief and trauma, and living in seclusion in an extremely rural part of Hawaii, Glen turned to drugs and alcohol.
He hit rock bottom… It led him to write an EP documenting his struggles with suffering through trauma, turning to addiction… and the road back. Glen turned his pain into purpose and used his music as medicine, transforming the darkness he felt into soulful melodies and introspective lyrics. What was meant to break him… reinvented him. The release of his music catalogues his life before the storm (Girl from Miami) then through the roller coaster of pain, lost love and defeat… and the road back to getting clean and re establishing his relationship with Creator (Calling All Angels/Be Here Now). Glen’s own epic “Hero’s Journey” that not only outlays one man’s decent into Hell… but also his triumphant journey back, through growth and fortitude.
Fueled by a hunger for truth and authenticity, Glen teamed up with producer Jim Foster and embarked on a pilgrimage across the Hawaiian archipelago, documenting his journey in gritty music videos and a revealing documentary that lays bare the essence of his artistry and pain. His music videos telling a story of the road into darkness and how he clawed his way free. Now, armed with nothing but his guitar, his lyrics, and his unbreakable spirit, Glen Bruce stands ready to unleash his brand of sonic rebellion on the World stage.
With an eclectic mix of indie soul sounds and a rock 'n' roll swagger, Glen Bruce aims to connect with audiences far and wide, sharing his story of transformation and hope. From the depths of despair to the heights of musical elation, Glen's journey is a testament to the power of resilience and the healing force of creativity. Get ready to feel the heat, because the revolution starts now, and Glen Bruce is leading the charge.
