Biography
background
Spencer Kane is a 3 time award nominated and Billboard charting teen artist and TV sitcom actor born on October 26, 1996. At barely 5 years old he recorded his first music video as a lip sync to the song "Written on My Heart" by the Christian band Plus One. Raised in a Christian home as a son of a Pastor, Spencer has been around musical influence in and out of the church world. His first professional recording was released in June 2011 and he has been recording in New York, Nashville, Chicago and Atlanta ever since. He is also a dancer having learned most of his skill through training since becoming a music artist.
Career
Working primarily as a solo indie artist, Spencer signed a performance contract with iShine (Bema Media LLC) based in Nashville, Tennessee in June 2012. He is a recurring role on the TBN Network award nominated sitcom "iShine Knect" (as himself) and is a featured artist on iShine compilation CD's and DVD's as well as a featured artist in the iShine national tour each Spring and Fall since early 2013. He has toured nationally and performed nearly 100 concerts through Dec 2014.[1]
He is a regular teen who enjoys life apart from music.
When he's not performing at a concert or in front of a TV camera, he is a committed student-athlete having played basketball since age 4 and baseball since age 7. He is a devoted Christian and hopes his music will reach all ages with his positive lyrics and entertaining music.
music
His music has been described as "TOP 40" with a positive message. His fans have described his music as inspirational and the hundreds of emails he receives confirm that it has positively changed lives of the listener. In between writing originals, Spencer has covered songs from artists like Maroon 5, Moriah Peters, Justin Timberlake, Jason Mraz, Plain White Tees, Cody Simpson, Justin Bieber, Andrew Allen, Tori Kelly, and Miguel. "I consider Tobymac my biggest inspiration for music. I love how he creates music that kids like and listen to and still keeps the lyrics positive," said Spencer. His debut EP "ONE OF THE KIND" released digitally on iTunes and dozens of other online sites in February 2013 and physically released in retail stores in CD form September 2013. His newest album "RUNWAY" (Sep 2014) features new music produced by Grammy Winning Tyshane (Lecrae - Gravity 2013) among other award winning and platinum album producers.
