"I was born, I survived, I lived, I died...and I'm on repeat." - Rane Stone New and fresh, breakout artist, Rane Stone is quickly gaining a reputation as the new voice of rock, with a catchy, original sound. Rane was born into a naturally musical family being that his father was a Baptist minister for many years and soul, gospel and blues were born into his blood. He has been exploring his talents his whole life and began as a child on the piano and has been singing since age four in which his first performance was at the funeral of a childhood friend. Later he self-taught himself guitar and has written an abundance of instant hits since then. His real musical adventure began in 1994 with local 80s/90s/new-gen style hard/glam/grunge groups which he had worked with for the past 14 years. He has made various guest appearances for shows and tributes and has cultivated a substantial following opening for the likes of Fozzy, Stuck Mojo, Sevendust, Kings X and Second Coming before deciding to strike out on his own. He is not only a musician, but a poet who pours witty, awakening lyrics into each composition and has not once wavered or lost sight of his personal goals; one of which was to bring music to ordinary people, to challenge and empower people through music, and to let people know that they are not alone in the enigma known as 'life'.
