Premium Grade Productions, in association with SoulMusic Records-Digital, is pleased to present “Sandbox Podium,” a 27-track compilation of recordings by award-winning producer-songwriter & multi-instrumentalist, Preston Glass.

Commenting on this 2026 compilation, Preston says that the album focuses on his work as an front-and-center recording artist.  He notes that he was introduced to writing songs and has been doing so from the age tender age of 5, about the same age he was introduced to the sandbox on the playground!

Over the years, Preston’s songs have been recorded by established artists like Natalie Cole, George Benson, Whitney Houston, Aretha Franklin, Kenny G. & Earth Wind & Fire among many others.

“Sandbox Podium” includes some new recordings, but mostly previous recordings with Preston doing the lead and backing vocal chores; along with duets with such formidable vocalists as Johnny Mathis, Rebbie Jackson, Terrill, Oya and Preston’s daughter Gemia Burns.  “This collection is a study in song writing,” he notes. “which to some degree has become a lost art.”

Enjoy Preston’s multi-faceted legacy on this musical celebration!
