Glo (2).
Combining dark piano with voice, glo (always with a lower case "g") debuted circa 1999. Her whose real name is Gloria Hawa, but prefers to go by glo. She was born in San Jose, CA in 1976, daughter of Tony and Hiam Hawa. The family relocated to Orange, in the county by the same name, in 1978. Tony and Hiam Hawa hail from the middle east; Palestine, to be exact. They came to the states in the early 70s. glo is fluent in the arabic language, as it was her first learned form of speaking.
Being born into a musical family, glo picked up on music early on as a child. Her father used to play a oud- an arabic guitar- very well and her parents would host parties from time to time containing live bands. glo would watch the bands.
As glo was approaching her 20s, she dabbled loosely in creating poems and songs as a safe outlet for creativity. She was always captivated by the dark side of life and the music she listened to reflected that. Her favorite artists include The Cure, Portishead, Radiohead, Depeche Mode, Jeff Buckley and, of course, Tori Amos.
The motivation to go and purchase a piano came upon after glo watched a Tori Amos video in which Amos was performing the solo to the song "Cornflake Girl." The performance, along with the admiration glo already had for Amos, compelled glo to go out and buy an upright piano on a whim and she taught herself how to play the piano. She has written lyrics. Many of her songs contain dark, cryptic messages with codes that sometimes cannot be cracked.
Her first album, deja senti, has earned praise all over the music world. It contains it's share of dark, abysal-coated harmonies as well as angst tunes that will make Fiona Apple sound like Sesame Street.
In order to steer clear of the Tori Amos "girl-with-the-piano" comparison, glo's live peformances will include piano, synth, cello and sometimes bass.
Heralbum will be coming up in the spring of 2007. glo is now working on her sophmore album, tentatively titled glossolalia.
