Glancy Kelly began laying the foundations for his music career as a young child bouncing around foster care homes. Without a stable family and, oftentimes, food and power, Glancy would fill his days by writing songs. His introspective early years are evident in his powerful, profound lyrics. His music stands out for its lack of fluff — Glancy’s goal is not to put out song after song, but to shape worthy messages and reflections into songs. Glancy didn’t grow up listening to Marvin Gaye and Luther Vandross and the conventional godfathers of R&B. As a foster kid relying on himself for many aspects of his upbringing, his love for R&B and hip-hop was sparked by the radio hits of his contemporaries. His up-tempo, evocative beats and flows are reminiscent of Trey Songz, Omarion, Mario Barrett, and other hit-makers of the 1990s and 2000s. In drawing inspiration from them, Glancy is creating songs in the language that his generation naturally relates to.
