E8: Warner Music, Singapore F1 singer-songwriter Glen Wee's spiritual journey

Glen Wee signed under Warner Music and released his debut solo album in Jan 2019. At age 19, Glen was part of the nationwide singing competition, The Final One in Singapore, and came forth. He has performed at the F1 in Singapore and has since moved to Melbourne performing soulful ballads and jazzy folk.

However, Glen does not believe a person should be defined by their accolades and opens up to me in one of the most raw and vulnerable conversations I've had the privilege to experience.
