Looking Up To Heaven is as much a song as it is a journey into the best of contemporary country. The track is best suited for a relaxed Sunday morning coffee and to start off your week with some positivity.
In addition to being a prolific songwriter and producer from Mumbai, India, Glenn Valles also produces music in a variety of various musical genres and styles. According to him, one of the aims of his music is to inspire his listeners to be able to “see with their ears” and “feel with their souls”.
This Song is about Glenn and his parents’ extremely close bond and is one of the winners of the Country Music Category of the 2022 UK Songwriting Contest.

The song features acoustic guitar and male vocals with an Asian-based cultural influence that makes it easy to listen to over and over again.
After his mother, Clothilda, passed away suddenly, he wrote the song ”Looking Up To Heaven”. The UKSC was told by Glenn that this was the only means by which he could express his grief as a songwriter. In honour of his parents, Clothilda and Edmund Valles, he dedicates this song and this win to them.
It’s got a lot of power—the vocals are strong and clear, and the instrumentals are well-balanced between all the instruments (including his voice, which is always in tune). The track also has a great tempo that keeps things moving along nicely throughout the whole song.
