Lane Morris shared their story and experiences with us recently and you can find our conversation below.
Hi Lane, thank you so much for joining us today. We’re thrilled to learn more about your journey, values and what you are currently working on. Let’s start with an ice breaker: What is a normal day like for you right now?
Right now, I spend most of my day creating, whether it’s writing or working on set lists or recording.
Can you briefly introduce yourself and share what makes you or your brand unique?
Well, howdy! I’m Lane. I’m a Kentucky boy born and bred. I grew up around all kinds of music and lifestyles, and I try to do my best to represent them all as well as possible. I feel like my art shows a side of humanity that isn’t really spoken about enough, at least at this point; it offers a unique perspective on the struggle of the lower/middle class person. I just put an album out recently called “The Summit”, so right now I’ve slowed down a bit and am just trying to create to create, or to hone the blade as it were!
Okay, so here’s a deep one: What’s a moment that really shaped how you see the world?
My parent’s divorce and the couple of years afterwards. It was just a difficult time. Not the divorce itself as much as the living situation and emotional turmoil, that was the first time that I realized the world doesn’t really go the way you feel like it should. There was just a lot of pain, and bad decisions.
Was there ever a time you almost gave up?
I don’t know that I would’ve completely given up, but taken a break for sure. Ive fallen on my face a whole lot lately (mostly my own fault but the world has a way of knocking you down), and it seemed like everything I was trying just wasn’t working. I had the thought “why even try”, but something inside of me just always finds out how to push through that.
I think our readers would appreciate hearing more about your values and what you think matters in life and career, etc. So our next question is along those lines. What’s a belief you used to hold tightly but now think was naive or wrong?
That utilizing social media didn’t matter for my art/brand.
I used to just think that playing shows was how to do it, and the band I was with had ~3,000 followers that we gained over 2 years, but I’ve found I get more real engagement from my social medias than I do playing shows. At least right now anyways. Either way you have to advertise
Okay, so let’s keep going with one more question that means a lot to us: What light inside you have you been dimming?
That I’m eclectic. I’ve had a lot of jobs, and had to fit a lot of molds. And I’m bad about people pleasing. I was always kind of in my own world as a child, and was interested in very different things from the regular kid, and as you grow up you get told it’s wrong to be that way. But in truth, it’s not wrong at all.
