Glen Collenette

I’m Glen, and I’m proud to say now that I’m a singer-songwriter. I wasn’t always! my journey as an artist was more accidental! I have worked in IT my entire professional life and I never imagined I would be any more involved with music other than every now and again playing Oasis songs on my guitar! These songs are my stories, written about my own life experiences, where they took me and how they helped me through difficult times to move forward positively with my life. I wrote most of them over the last 5 years on the journey trying to find the strength to leave and move on from an incredibly emotionally challenging relationship that not only dramatically affected my life but my 2 children’s as well.  Nothing could have really prepared me for what I experienced over those years. It took a long time to finally understand what had been happening and by then a lot of damage had already been done. The longer it went on the more difficult it became to leave especially as children were involved.  Hard to believe, isn’t it? Textbook manoeuvre! Someone treats you bad, just leave them!  It’s not always that simple though! Marriage, families, work, and responsibility entangle you in a complex web just on their own, so add a bit of mind manipulation to that and you end up spinning in circles thinking if there’s a problem here, I must be part of it, I can fix it!  Before you know it, you’re stuck in that sticky web! With no visible direction that really feels like a viable way out!
