Bio

About 17 Years ago, Glenn Abuwan got his first Didgeridoo. (The name abuwan was thrown at and stuck to Glenn about 10 years ago while he was in a boundary pushing performance art group). He taught himself to play this Didgeridoo, and was teaching others and playing professional gigs within a year, becoming known for his ability to play this simple yet difficult instrument. For instance, the summer that the Atlanta zoo opened up its kangaroo exhibit, Glenn had 13 gigs there and got to know the kangaroos very well. A few years later he discovered his natural talent for drumming. He uses this playing regularly with the Atlanta team of the international Drum Cafe (www.drumcafeatlanta.com). Fast Fwd. 17 years and hundreds of performances (including one as the "Green Drum Master" for the opening ceremony of the 1996 Olympics) to his present day collection of over 100 instruments, a few of which he built himself, and each of which he taught himself to play. His only formal music training was piano lessons from age 8-9. Glenn's composition and performance styles vary depending on the purpose of the music (movie soundtrack, commercially available recording, meditation recording, ...) or the venue of the show (festival, educational assembly at a school, club, ...). Glenn's music is very otherworldly. He can play and record most any style, and his own style is incredibly organic sounding with subtle hints of accomplished and intricately unique playing.
