Zane
Williams is a man on a mission----to become one of
the great Texas singer-songwriters. The
Abilene, TX native moved to Nashville in 1999 after
graduating from Abilene Christian University.
“I’m a late bloomer,” says the 31 year old
performer. “It took me 9 years in Nashville
to figure out who I am musically and find my sound.
And sure enough once I found it, it sounded like
Texas.”
The Nashville years were not
wasted, however---Zane honed his songwriting and
performing skills on the road at over 500 colleges
nationwide and claimed top honors from the John
Lennon and Nashville Songwriter’s Association song
contests, among others. In 2009, Arista artist
Jason Michael Carroll recorded Zane’s song
“Hurry Home” for his sophomore album and it is
currently rising the country charts as a hit radio
single.
At home now in his wife’s
hometown of McKinney, TX, Zane says he has been
overwhelmed by the positive response to his music in
the Lone Star State. With famed
writer/producer Radney Foster on board to record his
new album in the summer of ’09, and an
ever-growing fan base coming out to his high-energy
live shows, Zane is more optimistic about the future
than ever before. “Nashville was good to me, but
in Texas I can totally be myself and people get
it,” he says. “The sky’s the limit, and
I couldn’t be more excited.”
