The name David Glenn may technically look new to the national Christian music community at large, but in tracing his steps throughout the past decade, it’s evident his fingerprints have popped up in plenty of familiar places. Prior to the launch of his entirely original official debut disc Relentless in the summer of 2013 (which quickly climbed to #23 on the iTunes Top 200 Christian and Gospel Albums chart), the singer/songwriter spent more than ten years building contemporary worship programs from the ground up for several churches in the southeast, while simultaneously carving out a solo ministry that’s since found him performing praise concerts all across America and abroad (including an opening slot on NewSong’s annual Christmas tour).

In fact, there are few corners of the country Glenn hasn’t reached yet considering that many of his anthemic choruses such as “Glorify Your Name” and “Bread of Life” are being sung by countless congregations every Sunday. Add in a “See You At The Pole” theme song credit, editorial acclaim from Worship Leader Magazine’s SongDISCovery, plus time as a World Vision Artist Associate, and although Glenn may look like a fresh face on paper, chances are you’ve encountered his inspirational work without even realizing it (although he’d humbly deflect that kind of attention).

“First and foremost, my identity is in Christ,” he says matter of factly. “My goal is to simply inspire a spirit of worship and be someone who is encouraging in other people’s lives. My goal is to do that in a creative and culturally relevant way, but at the end of the day, I want to put my guitar down and feel like what I contributed truly helped others worship the Lord.”
