Hello, I am
GLENN
MARAIS
Musician, Educator,
Changemaker
I consider myself to be a writer first and foremost. I am a songwriter, poet, author, and playwright. My love of music has driven my career and in particular my songwriting and guitar playing to where I consider myself to be an artist. Not just a musician, but an artist with the capacity and ability to organize and connect people and create projects on a large scale that ultimately seek to benefit and enrich the lives of people in my community.
I am driven by the desire to help people, to make their lives better and in the process, my own heart has grown and gotten bigger and my art and music have flourished. I am always working on numerous projects at once, but my main focus now is a follow up album for Glenn Marais and the Mojo Train, a delta blues gospel record and musical play, entitled Jook, a follow up to my first book of Poetry, Dance with Fear, Live in the Light, entitled Life Makes a Pretty World, my first novel and a brand-new conscious clothing line, Maraispeak that features my own motivational quotes and excerpts from poems in customizable designs.
