Lane is a versatile and compelling artist whose journey has been anything but typical. Raised in a family of musicians, Lane started singing at their jam sessions as a child. Her formal vocal training began at age 9. She got an early start in the studio, recording demos for local musicians, including her songwriting mother. She soon found her way to the stage, and began what would be a 20+ year career as a professional singer/actor in opera, musical theater and theater. Highlights from her many roles include Eliza in “My Fair Lady” at Lyric Opera Cleveland, Lily in “The Secret Garden” at Civic Theater, Orlando, Josephine in “HMS Pinafore” at Ohio Light Opera, Laura in “The Glass Menagerie” at Seaside Music Theater, and the title role in “Antigone” at the WestEnd Theater in NYC. She also performed extensively in recital and oratorio, as a soloist in Handel’s “Messiah”, and was winner of the Columbus Symphony Young Artist Competition. She attended both Baldwin-Wallace College and Cincinnati Conservatory of Music (CCM) where she graduated with a degree in Vocal Performance.

Lane also has a vast background as a voice teacher and arts educator, having taught a variety of programs and master-classes for such institutions as The Metropolitan Opera Guild and The Conservatory of Performing Arts. Over the past 15 years, she has maintained a private vocal studio, as both voice teacher and performance coach, in addition to developing educational programs for both private and public schools, implementing the arts as tools to enhance learning and curriculum.

Although her early career led her to the stage, her deeper passions took her into new, yet ancient and innovative territories, with a rich study of native drumming and world music, sound and vibrational therapy, and other healing modalities, including Reiki and Jin-Shin Jyutsu. She incorporates much of these practices into her work and teaching, and continues to pursue ways to marry the performing and healing arts.

Lane also works with expectant mothers, introducing the use of sound and vibrational therapy for pre and post-natal care. She created “Birth Muse”, a pre-natal class for LILA Women’s Wellness Center in lower Manhattan, and also collaborates with doula Jill Wodnick of Montclair Maternity, teaching sound and vibrational practices in childbirth classes and with private clients. Lane and Jill are currently recording a full-length album of these musical and meditative modalities for use in labor and delivery, due for release next year.

As a studio vocalist and session singer, Lane’s recent and upcoming credits include several releases with ACM records for composer Matt LoRey, one of which is featured in the independent film “Indy”. New releases with ACM Records and Dream Box Media on his forthcoming album “Winter Poems”. Backing vocals and native drumming on the upcoming debut album for The Parkway Charlies. Sound therapy vocals and native drumming for Pre-Natal Peace and Calming CD, featured in the August 2008 issue of Pregnancy Magazine.

Lane lives in the New York City area with her husband, Jim and son, Myles.
