At the heart of Vane Awdis lies a poet. His rhymes detail the struggles of daily life, relationships, and the path you walk to become something from nothing. He expresses with clarity the wisdom that he's unearthed, and speaks to every emotion encountered along the way.

Having always been poetically inclined, his creative storytelling naturally evolved into music-making fifteen years ago. His poems turned into rap and hip-hop tracks; true stories of love, hate, and everything in between. Vane recorded his first mixtape "On My Way To Find Myself" in three hours, on a ten dollar computer microphone and Sony Acid Pro 4.0, having recorded ten mixtapes since, professionally which can be downloaded FREE on Datpiff.com

Of Puerto Rican descent, Vane was raised in Woodbridge, VA. Seeing artists such as Selena and Eminem become success stories, having come from nothing and transforming themselves into musical superstars, Vane was inspired to make something of himself. Influenced by the hip-hop sounds of his youth, his music has been shaped by the likes of Tech N9ne, Chino XL, Tory Lanez, Eminem, and Joe Budden.

Working as an audio engineer and recording artist Vane has been a frequent collaborator with numerous artists. He's shared stages with Vanilla Ice, Fat Trel, Papoose, Twiztid, and Lil Wyte, to name just a few, and now he's stepping out on his own and moving into solo territory. Later this year we'll be seeing plenty of music videos for his spotlight singles "Side Tracked" "Therapy" "Hate On Me Now" & more from his latest mixtape State Streets Out NOW!  Vane's album "Alaska Road" featuring Chino XL, is due for release later this year.
