Lane Johnson
Lane brings with him a diverse background and years of experience in the music industry. With his childhood immersed in music, Lane started out in an international children’s singing group. He had the privilege to sing and be recorded with this group at age five. At age 7 and was heavily influenced by Jon Bucklew (Copeland), Dave Douglas (Relient K) and Aaron Gillespie (UnderOath). These various influences shaped Lane's style into a solid, rocksteady drummer that pays attention to the entire musical piece rather than just the drums. Lane was always around church playing drums in worship bands and began to be interested in the mixing side of music. He was found in all kinds of rock/indie rock bands in his hometown. Lane and his band went to a recording studio where he met a Engineer/Producer/Mixer, Matt Goldman (known for his work with Underoath, Copeland, Cartel, Anberlin, The Chariot, Third Day, Casting Crowns) who stayed in contact with Lane throughout his high school years. Towards the end of high school, Matt Goldman invited Lane to be his first intern at Glow in the Dark Studios located in little five points ATL from 2005-2006.
In the subsequent 4 years, Lane developed his skills as a full time Drummer/Engineer alongside Matt Malpass at Marigolds and Monsters Studio where a majority of his discography was developed Drumming, Engineering, Editing, working as an assistant engineer, drum tech and even playing drums on numerous records of Relient K, Rookie of the Year, Tilian, Manchester Orchestra, All Get Out and much more. Just like any blazing frontrunner in the music industry, Lane explored his opportunities throughout Cleveland Tn, Nashville Tn, Atlanta Ga, Tampa Bay Fl, where he has made quite a name for himself as both "fast and accurate" at numerous professional, private and public recording facilities. Evolving into one of the most highly sought after Engineers & Producers in the Southeast. Lane founded Drawn To Waves Music where he continues to invent new ways to enhance an artists' sound while exceeding the very framework of which music was built.
With an aptitude for eclectic, trendy sounds, Lane infuses his complex musicality and diverse background into every song he engineers/produces & mixes. Lane’s productions are known to showcase his signature synthesized motifs and undeniable riffs on top of twinkling club arpeggios that emphasize climaxes beyond the realms of otherworldly crowd pleasers. With every turn of the knob and rise of the faders, it is also easy to observe that Lane's way of working is a true art form. Notorious for his distinguishable influence with his hooky bridges and punctuated smooth clear mixes, he has been known to take any simple song and sculpt it into a masterpiece.
