On his 10th birthday, he was given his first guitar; by the age of 12 he began frequenting local LA blues clubs where he made a name for himself as a professional musician. After touring Japan with the Monterey Jazz Festival All-Star Big Band and performing at the Dorothy Chandler Pavilion for the LA Spotlight Awards Competition, Zane attended the Studio/Jazz Guitar program at USC's Thornton School of Music, where David Foster invited him to tour around the world with Renee Olstead and Jesse McCartney. Since then, Zane has become one of the most in-demand recording guitarists, from playing with house bands for network TV shows to working with producers like Justin Timberlake. After discovering Zane playing guitar online, John Mayer personally chose him to play guitar on his album ‘Paradise Valley’ and to join his band on tour.
