"Lanae' embodies the incredible combination of great voice, great writing, and an honest heart,” says John Mays, Vice President, Centricity Records. “Her authenticity, combined with her natural, unique giftedness was compelling to us at Centricity. Really, we're just getting started with her, but we're so excited to see the great things beginning to happen around her and her music."

Hale grew up in CoCo River, Florida and played in churches and coffeehouses to hone her skills as a singer/songwriter. In 2005, a fan sponsored Hale with entry fees to the prestigious GMA In The Rockies. Hale won second-place in two categories, Contemporary Christian Vocal 2 and Pop-Adult Contemporary/Inspirational Song.

After winning at the GMA event, Hale began her move to Nashville where she received an invitation by Mays to perform at Centricity’s Indie Summit in Seattle. Shortly afterwards, Hale signed with the label, began recording her six-song EP, and started touring with downhere and Jason Gray. Next year will be a development time for Hale with more touring dates to be announced soon and with upcoming radio and media coverage.
