Bio
Rane Stone was born into a musical family being that his father was a Baptist minister for many years. Soul, gospel, and blues were naturally born into his blood and he has been exploring his talents his whole life. Rane began singing at age four where his first performance was at the funeral of a childhood friend. Taking only a handful of piano lessons, he later taught himself guitar and keys and has written an abundance of instant hits since then.
Not afraid to speak out about the issues confronting all of us in our daily lives, Stone delivers in a way that is not only communicative, but also very self-healing. Stone pours self-aware and awakening lyrics into each composition expressing ordinary music in an extraordinary way. His music challenges and empowers those who absorb its message and lets us know that we are not alone in this enigma known as life.
This is the very essence of being a human in some very inhumane situations, self-inflicted or otherwise. The ironic struggle of our iconic and gritty nature, comparing and combining the gory with the spirited, and Stone does this masterfully. With Stone’s music there is no tricking you with the unnecessary and frivolous glitter that most bands use to get your attention. Smoke and mirrors…there are none.
Stone lays his guts out on the table while making you want to anticipate the view and commits to the songs unapologetically. There is no hesitation or insecurity whatsoever. The words and music are deliberate, confident and secure.
