Looze Cannon says record labels are reaching out, but the performer behind the viral Michael Jackson freestyles is not rushing to sign. He says staying independent currently makes more sense for his approach to the music.
The entertainer, whose name is Glen Cannon, has attracted viewers by combining rap freestyles, comedy and a Michael Jackson character. He has also discussed his decision to keep viral material off streaming platforms rather than immediately following a conventional release strategy.
His growing visibility has brought another development: public praise from established musicians. On October 27, Cordae and Timbaland had both recognized his talent. Cordae highlighted the difficulty of improvising while impersonating Jackson, while Timbaland reposted his work and praised his ability.
Those endorsements help explain the attention around him, but they are not record deals. Neither the praise nor his account of label interest establishes a signed contract. For now, the story is a performer weighing business opportunities while artists with major careers take notice.
