CUSTARD RECORDS & UNIVERSAL MOTOWN SIGN RENI LANE / AUDIO
April 21, 2009 | by Skope Staff
The best kind of song is familiar and illuminating all at once, and if you’re lucky, its creator is too. Such is the case with Reni Lane, the 21-year-old whose edgy beauty belies her geekier side.
A campus figure at Columbia University, this classically trained artist extraordinaire is ready to turn heads in the music scene – while finishing her homework first. Reni’s musical experience began at 7 years old with a Casio toy piano bought from a yard sale, but her natural ability quickly became apparent. At the age of 18, Reni moved to Manhattan and found her way to the Sidewalk Cafe, a breeding ground for other songsters such as Nellie McKay, Regina Spektor, and Beck.
Reni Lane’s single “Place For Us”:
