Penguin Prison is an electropop project composed solely of New York City singer, musician, producer and remixer Chris Glover.[1][2] Penguin Prison's self-titled debut album was released on 18 October 2011 through Downtown Records to positive reviews.[3]
Chris Glover was born in 1983 grew up in New York City's Upper East Side. His early musical influences came mostly from his mother's love of country music[citation needed]. Glover's favorite artists growing up were Johnny Cash, Patsy Cline, and Hank Williams.[citation needed] Glover showed an interest in performing music at an early age when he joined his school's gospel choir at age 10, singing alongside future R&B artist Alicia Keys[citation needed]. While a teen, he performed at CBGB's with his punk band The Museum[citation needed]. He attended the Bard College, where he formed a popular "crazy, fake boy band" called The Smartest People At Bard, which he describes as "a cross between Backstreet Boys and Beastie Boys".[citation needed] In the mid-2000s, before releasing music as Penguin Prison, he went by his birth name and recorded an unreleased pop-rap album, Hell Isn't Even That Funny, which was promoted with the single "Stand On Your Seat" (2005).[4]
