Glenn Noyes and his brother caught the music bug from their father who was a professional trumpeter. Glenn started on guitar but switched with his brother who was playing drums. In 1976, their band played in the North County Battle of the Bands in San Diego county. They won first prize. It was a turning point for Glenn who moved to Los Angeles and started recording and touring with Los Angeles acts including Malisha, Kelle Rhoads and Treason. In 1985, Glenn was hired by Guitar Center but soon made a move to West LA Music where he remained until Guitar Center called him back in 2007. Both experiences help solidify his passion for music in retail.
