About Monsieur Glize

Monsieur Glize (pronounced “Gleez”) is the electronic music nom de plume of Fernand Vera. The name Monsieur Glize was inspired by a mysterious French relative from Fernand’s family tree. Based in Plano, TX, Fernand is a Professor of Music at Collin College, a classical guitarist by training, and currently performs in a professional classical guitar duo, Kithara Duo. Striving to make his music both catchy and artful, Monsieur Glize creates electronic music that features electric and acoustic guitars, bass guitar, keyboards, drums, samples, and ambient effects. Monsieur Glize’s self-produced debut album, Dappled Shade, was released in November 2020 and spans multiple genres: dance, pop, experimental, noise rock, and dreamy acoustic.

Most recently, Monsieur Glize's newest release "Voyage" was featured on Austin's KUTX "Song of the Day." The host of the program, Jack Anderson, wrote:

"Monsieur Glize made his self-produced debut with Dappled Shade in fall of 2020, and has since followed it up with a string of infectious singles. Each new track reveals another layer of Vera’s cross-genre comprehension, with experimental elements of noise rock and dream pop on top of more recognizable electronic styles like dance. The progression of Monsieur Glize’s arrangements also evokes a sense of curiosity, far from the disappointing idleness you hear from a lot of four-to-the-floor beat makers."
