Glen M. Willows is the guitarist and songwriter for the Canadian band Harlequin, which has been awarded five Gold and three Platinum albums for Canadian record sales. Glen has written or co-written several hit songs for the band, which have become perennial favourites of Canadian radio programmers, with over forty years of consistent radio airplay.

In the last thirty five years Glen has also managed several bands and solo artists under his management company, Burning Circus Management (BCM). Many of his clients went on to sign record deals with major labels (RCA, Nettwerk, SONY, BMG), publishing deals (EMI Publishing) and co-management deals (Coalition, Nettwerk). He also lectures and teaches courses in songwriting, music business and artist management.

Born in Winnipeg in 1954, Glen Willows was exposed to music early in life through his father, an accomplished pianist. He began focusing on music theory and performance in Grade eight, and was on his way to a career in classical music. After high school, he studied music at Brandon University, and played viola with the Winnipeg youth orchestra. But then, at the age of twenty-one, he went against his original plan (not to mention his parents wishes) and went over to the dark side of rock ‘n’ roll!
