Jeremy Glenn is a Toronto-based multi-instrumentalist, producer, and engineer whose work bridges the gap between classic soul sensibilities and modern electronic production. With a background in formal audio engineering education and a tenure as an instructor at the Ontario Institute of Audio Recording Technology, Glenn's output is defined by an exceptional level of sonic clarity and technical polish.
His sound identity is rooted in the 'boogie' and 'post-disco' eras of the late 70s and early 80s, utilizing warm analog synths and precise rhythmic programming to support his smooth, crooning vocals. Culturally, he emerged as a key figure in the early 2010s nu-disco and synth-soul revival, often associated with the aesthetic of labels like Future Classic or the 'Summer of 83' sound. His career arc shows a transition from the club-focused alias MakeShift to the more song-oriented Jeremy Glenn project, which emphasizes melodic songwriting and sophisticated arrangements. Critical consensus highlights his ability to evoke nostalgia for 80s R&B without falling into kitsch, maintaining a contemporary edge through his deep understanding of electronic textures.
