[edit] Biography
Dana Glover was born in Rocky Mount, but later moved to Asheville, North Carolina at the age of 8. When Glover turned 16 she went to Manhattan to pursue a modeling career, but after two years in New York she decided that music was her passion and went to Los Angeles to write songs. Writing songs was a great way for Glover to express herself. Once Glover was in Los Angeles she became a piano player in clubs. Then finally Dana auditioned for DreamWorks and was very nervous but it payed off, she was then signed by ex-Band songwriter and affiliate Robbie Robertson of DreamWorks. She was climbing her way to the top.
In 2001 she got her big break when she performed the song "Plan on Forever" in a duet with Mervyn Warren for the movie The Wedding Planner and in the same year she received the opportunity to perform her most notable song "It Is You (I Have Loved)", the love theme from the film Shrek. She was becoming more famous when Robbie Robertson introduced her to Matthew Wilder. Wilder produced her debut album "Testimony" which reached #41 on the Billboard Heatseaker Charts. In this album she had two singles, "Thinking Over" which reached #17 on the AC charts and #22 on the AC Top 40 charts. Her other single on the album Testimony was called Rain which reached #30 on the AC Top 40 charts. Then in 2004 the song "Thinking Over" was used for the Garry Marshall film Raising Helen.
