GLU is the solo project of Michael Shuman, in which unusual melodies come together with atmospheric instrumentals and dynamic vocals. The result is a genre-bending mix of hip-hop, pop, and experimental electronica, with introspective lyrics about struggle, loss, and personal demons. The 2023 EP 'MY DEMONS' showcases Shuman's versatility: he writes not only catchy choruses but also complex lyrics and explores new sounds with synthesizers and keyboards.

Together with guest vocalist Sarah Barthel , GLU gains an even richer and more dynamic sound. With singles like 'BOOGIE MAN', a danceable track about losing yourself in the moment, GLU proved live on tours with Phantogram, The Blue Stones, and Miles Kane that the project is both intimate and energetic. In 2026, GLU expanded its repertoire with a cover of the '90s hit 'Crush' by Jennifer Paige, further reinforcing the project's fresh and experimental sound.
