Glanton was born on July 14, 1977. Nevertheless, he has encountered multiple series of attacks from the enemy on his life from conception. Yet God had a plan! In 2000, while attending a local revival in Rochester, NY, he received a Word from the Lord from Prophet Eric Cooper from Phoenix, Arizona. Prophet Cooper declared to him “After the Storm, God is going to put your name in lights for the world to see.”
Subsequently, he definitely encountered thunderous and tumultuous storms in his life! He miraculously survived 3 strokes, beginning stage lung cancer, a minor heart attack, homelessness, drug addiction and suicidal battles. Today, however, if you were to ask him, “how were you able to go through all that, at such a young age and still survive?” His reply, simply would be, “when God is fighting for you, you can’t lose.” “People choose to be defeated, I choose to be UNDEFEATEDwith God on my side.” He further encourages his audience “to not only praise God during the battle, but when the victory is won REJOICE.” Accordingly, He is living the life and singing the praises!
Glanton was a child prodigy! At the age of 4, he taught himself how to play the drums and he mastered the skill by the age of 9. Faithfully, he served as the church drummer until he was 22 years of age. His wonderment of music continued as he once again locked himself in a room and taught himself how to play the piano.
Please hear him in his finest hour on his current dual release single projects “Rejoice” and “Undefeated.” These anointed releases offer a summary of Glanton’s life story set to music which ends well! “Rejoice” features rhythmic agility and of course, the all-powerful toe tapping, hand clapping, praised infused impact. You can listen over and over to it when you’re going through the storms of life. Remember, Psalm 34:1 declares, “I will bless the Lord at all times. His Praise shall continually be in my mouth.” Undefeated” is his testament that he is a great example of overcoming all odds, and can “rejoice” knowing that only through Jesus Christ, we are “undefeated.” These singles immediately establish a dialogue with the melody and lyrics with a personalized melodic/harmonic blend.
Besides, his extraordinary gifts and talents continue to revolutionize the gospel music industry coupled with inevitable proof of an even greater future.

His talents transcend various creative art forms such as an innovative and accomplished songwriter, talented recording artist, choir director, vocal coach, music teacher, organist and drummer. He simultaneously projects his uncompromising vocal talents and gifts to an unprecedented level of artistic achievement. Simply stated he excels in the excellent!
Glanton is currently serving as an accomplished organist at the Bethlehem Temple Church of a New Beginning in the Atlanta, GA area. His foremost goals in Kingdom work and in life is changing the world “One song at a time.” Glanton’s plan for the faith community is to give back to the less fortunate churches in their music departments by assisting them to develop strong Bible based musicians for Ministry.
