From sleeping on benches doing anything to survive to sculpting timeless sound - Sean Gabriel O’Neill, known foremost as LANE, is a rapper, singer, songwriter, producer and entertainer from Greensboro, North Carolina. Born December 28th, 1999 in Houston, Texas, he began his musical journey as a child raised “almost exclusively on rock music,” mentioning the influence of TOOL, Lenny Kravitz, Black Sabbath and Iron Maiden. However, his realm of musical inspiration widened with age coming into hip-hop artists such as BONES, Future, Lil Uzi Vert and more. Notably he has also paid homage to Taylor Swift. Evidently this dynamic background is responsible for his strong cross-genre mix of sound creating an encapsulating star-bound and psychedelic lure. LANE was first discovered by A&R team “Boomsound Factory” in August of 2023 at the APOLLO edition of the annual ‘Show Up and Show Out’ showcase hosted by TCvsChanze. Having received top-tier reviews by the judges (including Celebrity Interviewer Marty A Johnson as well as singer Billy Covington from the famous R&B group “Hi-Five”) he developed a relationship with Boomsound Factory founder Antwon Lavelle and began making his footprint in the music industry while gaining interest from major labels. Since his recognition, LANE has been brought in for interviews, one notably with the aforementioned Marty Johnson. He recently attended the BET Awards in 2024.
