   About Zane Williams


Hey everybody! I’m a newly-signed staff writer at Big Yellow Dog Music in Nashville, and I’m having a blast writing songs for a living.

I grew up in Abilene TX, Lexington KY, Parkersburg WV, and Thousand Oaks CA. I went to Abilene Christian University for school and met my wife Jodi there. We’ve been happily married for almost 8 years now! We moved to Nashville in 1999 and I spent a year substitute teaching before getting on the college coffeehouse circuit, which paid our bills for six years. Jodi and I had a lot of fun traveling the country together and I made a lot of great fans performing at over 450 colleges. Over time, my priorities changed from wanting to "make it" as a recording artist to wanting a successful songwriting career. That’s how I ended up at Big Yellow Dog! (The short version, anyway.)

What you hear above are some of my latest songs, demoed up for the mainstream country market. If you’d like to hear my indie album, which is much more acoustic and rootsy, you can preview it and buy it at CD Baby. I’m very proud of that as well. I’m also working on putting together a web page where you can listen to all of my songs, old and new, all in one player.

That said, I am trying to spend more time on music and less time on the computer, so I can’t promise I’ll respond to every comment and message that I get. But I definitely read and appreciate them all!! I’m so thankful to do what I do, and thankful to you all for your support. I always write my songs with you in mind, hoping that you’ll be encouraged and entertained by what you hear. Peace,

Zane

Zane,

You prove here and now why you deserve to be a signed songwriter with your new songs once again. You also bring a real legitimacy to the John Lennon Songwriting contest and set a benchmark for wannabe signed songwriters such as myself..
What is unbelievable to me is that you don't have a record deal.. It's your voice that makes those demos shine..They shouldn't even be called demos..especially when you sing them..
There is a no BS quality in your vocals..Genuine..Real

So just now that sparked me to buy a copy of Hurry Home..Don't know why I didn't earlier..

I already have your cd, but I'm bummed you don't have more songs to buy or download. Any chance you have another cd coming out?

Sounds like a great life! I'm in Cali visiting family and friends. Dave became a father last month so I am here to see my very first nephew-very exciting. We're all doing very well. Oh and I bought a house-just waiting for it to be built :)

Hi Zane, I tried to vote but I never got the confirmation email back so I don't think it went through, so mad, stupid computer. I really hope you win!
Mary Coppin on the mainland right now!





Apr 22 2008 2:21 PM

Good luck fellow Maxell Song of Year winner. I'll have to talk to the JLSC people about why the change and having the public vote now, I am curious.

I know when I won the public didn't vote and there were over 30,000 entries but I think that has changed too. I think your song is very strong and you have a great chance of winning again.
They are a great organization and winning help me to sell many, many CDs at the time. :D

Best of luck and Aloha,
Mary Coppin
