Beverly Glenn-Copeland is a singer and songwriter who was born in Philadelphia but has spent most of his life and career in Canada. He is a trans man known for his folk music that incorporates jazz, classical, and blues elements. With an extensive career, he has collaborated with various artists and even worked as a writer on Sesame Street. Additionally, Glenn-Copeland entertained children for twenty-five years on the Canadian television show Mr. Dressup. However, he gained significant recognition for his 1986 electronic album Keyboard Fantasies, which was rediscovered and celebrated in the 2010s.
Keyboard Fantasies was recorded using equipment such as a Yamaha DX7 and a Roland TR-707. This album received acclaim even before Glenn-Copeland's gender transition became public knowledge. In fact, it was selected as one of the 70 greatest recordings by women by The Stranger.

Throughout a fifty year recording career, legendary singer, composer and transgender activist Beverly Glenn-Copeland's music has defied categorisation and genre, its only consistency being the extraordinary fusion of vision, technology, spirituality and place. Now in his mid-70’s, Glenn-Copeland was born into a musical family and studied the classical piano repertoire from ‘cradlehood,’ listening to his father playing the piano four to five hours a day. He moved from his home-town of Philadelphia to study classical music at McGill University, Montreal in 1961 (focussing on the European song repertoire) before he suddenly felt called to write music that would weave influences from the myriad musical cultures he had come to love. Newly signed to Transgressive, this career spanning collection of songs includes three previously unreleased tracks; River Dreams, live versions of Deep River and Colour Of Anyhow, in addition to studio tracks from his acclaimed masterpiece Keyboard Fantasies and more.
