Zane has released two new singles, “Second Position” and “Jj.” With a background that includes recording his debut release in Berlin, and going on exchange to Central America, global and life influences are a distinct stamp in his folk rock music. His latest album, Likeness House, was released at the end of July.
Based in Vancouver, Zane spent his teenage years busking on Canadian streets, his unique sound influenced by Jack White and Mother Mother. “Second Position” details his experiences living on the streets as an addict, while “Jj” celebrates the radiance of his new wife. There is a wistful, optimistic charisma in his songs.
The electronic baritone guitar, juxtaposed with his deep, soulful tone, draw moods of reflection and curiosity. Purchase the new music on iTunes here, and listen to “A Pond Reflection” from Likeness House, below. - The Permanent Rain Press

Bio
Zane is a musician with a story to tell. From teenage years busking the streets of Vancouver, Zane has travelled the world, lived outside with punks, meditated for months on end, volunteered in Nicaragua, and played in the bars, trains and streets of Berlin where he recorded his premier EP Les Biens with Rob Willis. After a year of recording at home, Zane recently released his first LP Likeness House.
Zane's sound is characterized by his deep expressive voice and electric baritone guitar, which features heavily on his tracks. Catchy hooks combined with innovative arrangements, creative recording and electronic sounds give Zane's music a unique character, which draws influence from Grizzly Bear, Mother Mother and Jack White.
His fresh sound and charisma has secured him attention of promoters around Berlin, warming up at a sold out show for Sheppard (Universal), and recording as a featured artist for Chi Thanh and MC Fitti.
Outside the world of music, Zane writes poetry, runs live music workshops in contemporary dance, is involved in the gay community - as a result of his gay parentage and has written about his experience as a street musician for Shlur magazine.
