Artist History Started recording in 1988 as a Senior at Davie High School, Mocksville, N.C. Awesome way to relieve stress and express inner most feelings! Was awarded the Louis Armstrong Jazz Award for musical talent in high school. During 1989, mostly focused on TV/Radio production music and successfully landed a job as "Music Director" and "Video Producer" for a small company in Winston-Salem, N.C. Joined US Air Force in 1992 and became a Biomedical Equipment Technician (repairs all types of medical equipment). Air Force provided funding to continually outfit home studio. Also, continued to produce various videos for clients on the side as "T. Hartman Recordings & Project Studio" (digitalpro.moviespage.com). After a really bad motorcycle accident, in 1999, was laid-up for several months. Began recording "Serenity" in Jan. 2000 while tanked up on pain killers! "Serenity" CD was completed in September 2000 and now the next CD, "Vantage Point" is nearing completion! There will also be a new site for "Old Glu" w hich will feature the best of DigitalGlu's music from the 1990's!ˇ∞

Press Reviews Nice complimentary sounds and effects (great balance...not too busy nor too sparsely produced). I could envision myself walking along the path I have chosen, in a very focused manner. Tiring from the amount and time expended on my journey, yet fullfilled by the result of my efforts. Though very distant to my eyes, the light at (what I perceived to be) the end of my journey was shining brightly. There seems to be the feeling of a strong spiritual presence, piercing through the darkness of pieces. "Horizon" caused me to have very deep feeling for the music, as well as acute focus. John, CSkwirls "Blessed with a spiritual presence throughout his works, DigitalGlu helps the listener of his music see the light among the all too often darkness of our mortal existence." Hill Dweller Radio Review for DigitalGlu's Vantage Point: This track melts in my mouth upon every listen. Cool name, by the way, DigitalGlu! Definitely keeping it together like glue with a good combo of funky beats and the happy bounce of synth horns and bells. I don't smoke, but this could easily become my cigar break/top down/scream at sexy chicks song for the new millennium. Perfect for those pink Cadillac drives down the Vegas strip, or just your hometown highway on a Friday night, for that matter. This song SCREAMS sex in the backseat, a la Beck or or even James Brown sans vox. Thumbs way up, and looking forward to hearing more! Sloper As its name suggests, your Vantage Point is the only thing that doesn’t change in this constantly shifting song. Rhythmic and melodic elements appear, disappear and reappear almost seemlessly. We tried counting the number of separate songs this could have been, but quickly lost count. Particularly engaging are the driving groove after the intro, and the slower break around 2:50. It’s a fun ride just to see how they all fit together. Vistass
