American singer from Hawaii, Glenn Medeiros, achieved incredible success in the early 1990s of the last century. The man known as the author of the legendary hit She Ain't Worth It started his life as a singer.
But then the musician changed his passion and became a simple teacher. And then the deputy director in an ordinary high school.
The beginning of the career of Glenn Medeiros
Singer Glenn Medeiros was born on June 24, 1970. The musical history of the boy began literally 10 years later. A capable guy then helped his father by entertaining the guests of his tour bus.
People who studied the outskirts and sights of the island of Kauai often noted the boy's marvelous voice, prophesying him a dizzying career as a singer.
Thanks to the skills gained while working with his father, the boy easily won the local talent competition. The event, held in 1987 in Hawaii, became a kind of countdown point on the path of popularity.
The radio contest contributed to the formation of the guy's confidence, and the victory gave him the strength to start. As the main "percussion instrument" Glenn used the song of the musician George Benson, covering one of the hits.
The guy's efforts were appreciated: a representative of KZZP radio (now 104,7 FM) noted the boy's talent. The launch of the track on the waves of KZZP contributed to the beginning of word of mouth. People all over the country started talking about the young singer. A little later, the artist's first hit took 12th position on the Billboard Hot 100. He held this position for four weeks.
Formative period
Thanks to the victory in the radio competition, Glenn Medeiros received many offers from various music studios in the country. As a result, the singer chose the record company Amherst Records.
Together with professional sound engineers, Glenn released the first album, Glenn Medeiros, which he named after himself. The fame and recognition of the singer's name has increased a thousandfold.
The singer's public life began with an appearance on the Tonight Show, where he was personally invited by host Johnny Carson. At the same time, the artist began his concert activity.
After receiving secondary education, the guy went on an almost round-the-world trip to different cities and countries. Tickets for his festivals in Europe sold out within hours.
In addition to concerts, Glenn Medeiros did not forget about the continuation of his musical activities. After completing the European tour, the guy recorded a hit for MTV. The track She Ain't Worth It, on which, besides the singer, Bobby Brown worked, took the leading positions in the world charts, holding them for three weeks.
Glenn then released a reissue of his first hit, Nothing's Gonna Change My Love For You, the same one that won the hometown radio contest.
Glenn Medeiros Artist Final Recognition
A long string of successes influenced the singer in a positive way. The young man continuously worked for wear and tear. Concerts were followed by festivals and recording studios.
In addition to performances, the guy tried to give his all, recording new tracks. During his popularity, Glenn released the songs Long and Lasting Love and Lonely Won't Leave Me Alone. Each of them hit the top 10 European musical compositions of their time.
The work of Glenn and the French singer Elsa, called Love Always Find a Reason, went platinum. She held on to the top positions in the French rankings for nine weeks. The solo song Not Me received a "platinum" status in Spain, Korea and Taiwan, expanding the geography of the singer's "fans" to the territory of Asian countries.
The penultimate album of the singer is also highly appreciated by the audience. It was released under the direction of Hawaiian composer and singer Audy Kimura. The last record of the artist Captured, released on November 9, 1999, was released by the largest studio Amherst Records.
Hobbies and educational institutions of the star
American singer Glenn Medeiros, in addition to talent in music, had an extraordinary passion for the humanities. From childhood, the guy was fond of his native language, history and geography, striking teachers with his deep knowledge.
The singer graduated from the Department of Humanities, Literature and History at Western Hawaiian University. Also, the young man received a master's degree in historical sciences, studying at the Institute of Phoenix-Hawai. In May 2014, the artist became the official holder of a doctorate in education, having graduated from the University of Southern California.
Gradually, the passion for the humanities won over the love of music. As he grew older, the singer was engaged in education, gradually completing his concert activity.
After graduating from his musical career, Glenn Medeiros went to work as a teacher, teaching history in one of the Hawaiian schools. In 2013, Glenn was appointed to the position of Deputy Director of the educational institution.
