Biography
Stephen Kramer Glickman, a Canadian performer working across acting, comedy, and vocals, first attracted widespread attention in the late 2000s through his recurring part on the Nickelodeon musical sitcom Big Time Rush. Over a multifaceted career he has performed stand-up, supplied voices for animation, appeared onstage, contributed to television, film, and web projects, and co-hosted a podcast. His initial full-length musical release arrived in 2021 with the album The Moving Company.
Although born in Ontario, Glickman grew up in California and began formal acting training early, performing in community theater before completing his studies at the American Musical and Dramatic Academy. Already an established actor by 2009, he joined the main cast of Big Time Rush as Gustavo Rocque and remained for five seasons. In the subsequent decade he capitalized on that platform to pursue additional screen roles, stand-up dates, and other projects. He issued the comedy album Stories for Grown Ups in 2013 and later began recording pop material.
Entering the 2020s, Glickman issued popular covers of songs by the Beatles, Green Day, Billie Eilish, and additional artists. Several of those recordings were gathered on The Moving Company in 2021, while in 2024 he released the original track “Paralyzed.” Later that year his 2021 cover of Gnarls Barkley’s “Crazy” reached number six on Billboard’s TikTok Top 50. The song’s rapid accumulation of billions of streams within two weeks led to opening-act engagements for Cee Lo Green and Lisa Loeb, strengthening his mainstream profile. His 2025 releases—the 3DCG animated short Enormous and the concert album An Evening with Stephen Kramer Glickman—further illustrate the scope of his work.
