Glenn Alan Medeiros (born June 24, 1970) is an American singer and songwriter of Portuguese descent who achieved chart success in the late 1980s and early 1990s. He is best known on the national and international music scene for his 1987 global smash, "Nothing's Gonna Change My Love For You", and "She Ain't Worth It", a US chart-topper in 1990, and has remained regularly involved in the musical industry in his home State of Hawaii (to include several headliner and related musical variety shows in Waikiki) long after achieving global success decades ago.
After his musical career peaked, he taught and was vice-principal at the Maryknoll School, a parochial school in his native Honolulu, Hawaii, and as an adjunct Professor at Chaminade University, a well-established private Marianist University which shares grounds with Saint Louis School. On July 1, 2015, Medeiros became the president of Saint Louis School in Honolulu.
Medeiros began his musical career at the age of 10 when he helped his father entertain guests on his tour bus on the island of Kauai. In 1986, at the age of 16, Medeiros won a local radio talent contest in Hawaii when he performed a cover version of George Benson's "Nothing's Gonna Change My Love for You" which was subsequently produced into an album by a small local independent label. A visiting radio executive, Guy Zapoleon, from KZZP in Phoenix, Arizona heard the song and took the record back to Phoenix, where, through word of mouth, it became a national hit. Later, a worldwide hit, it reached #12 on the Billboard Hot 100 and spent four weeks at number one on the UK Singles Chart in July 1988. It reached #3 on Billboard's Adult Contemporary chart.
