He has already opened up for Matt Stell, Colt Ford, Chase Matthew and Kyle Park.

“We are thrilled to announce the signing of rising talent, Lane Smith,” shares Amy Scott, Director, Creative at BMG, Director, Creative at BMG. “Hailing from Spring Branch, Texas, Lane blends grit with heart in his storytelling. With his fearless creativity and background as a bullfighter, Lane brings a bold voice to today’s musical landscape. This partnership is a key milestone in Lane’s career and BMG’s ongoing mission to support original voices and songwriters. Lane’s passion, work ethic, and ability to turn real life into melody is inspiring to watch. He brings such authenticity and heart to every melody, and I am thrilled to be on this ride.”

“I’m just a guy from Texas, and I never imagined an opportunity like this would come so quickly,” adds Smith. “I’m incredibly grateful to have Amy Scott and the entire BMG team behind me.
