Atelo Songs is the musical identity of Sam Gleason, a multidisciplinary artist, composer, and actor whose work defies easy categorization. With over fifteen years of creative evolution, he first gained recognition performing across New York State under his own name, collaborating with numerous bands and theater productions. Gleason’s powerful voice and offbeat lyrical sensibility, often compared to Elvis Costello and Jeff Buckley, make Atelo Songs a truly distinctive presence in the indie music landscape.Beyond his songwriting, Gleason has composed original scores for independent films and various multimedia projects, blending cinematic emotion with alternative rock and experimental pop textures. His work as an actor and film editor has been featured in several independent projects, further reflecting his creative range and storytelling instinct.After adopting the Atelo Songs moniker in 2020, Gleason transformed adversity into artistry. Following an apartment fire, mental health challenges, and an accident resulting in long-term injuries and brain trauma, he spent eighteen months in rehabilitation, using music as a lifeline for self-reinvention. Supported by The Albany Barn artist residency program, he released new music almost every month throughout 2022, establishing himself as one of the region’s most prolific independent artists.Atelo Songs has been praised by AntiMusic, V13, Nippertown, Vents Magazine, and Melodic Magazine for his eclectic, emotionally charged catalog, showcasing an unmistakable sound of an artist who creates not just to express, but to endure and evolve.
