Lane McCray biographyRapper of La Bouche. Lane McCray, originally from the frosty land of Anchorage, Alaska, was stationed in Germany with the American Air Force. As an all-around entertainer in the states, Lane performed in musical theater and also showed his talent as a rapper (Cold Cut). He played in musicals like West Side Story, A Chorus Line and Guys and Dolls in the States. German audiences adored him as a singer and dancer, supporting Lane in establishing a name for himself. He met Melanie Thornton and began performing with her in a band called Groovin' Affairs. 'I can say proudly, that I sang with the big ones like Bob Hope, Dolly Parton and Boyz II Men' says Lane 'But when Melanie asked me to sing for La Bouche, I didn’t wait a second to make a decision. Over eight months I worked in the daytime for the Air Force and on the weekends in the studio. Some evenings we also had club shows to do. It was just a matter of time, to decide to stay with La Bouche. Nobody can stop us anymore'. He has the talent and striking looks to complement Melanie's diva-powered vocals and sultry beauty, thus completing the concept of La Bouche. He now lives in Luxembourg. But, as a proud veteran of the United States Air Force, Lane returns yearly to the Air Force's prestigious entertainment showcase "Tops in Blue" and has created cutting edge choreographies, developing raw talent into world class performers. His efforts were rewarded when he received the Golden Roger, a lifetime achievement award from the US Air Force 2000 : La Bouche comes back with a new single and Lane is still a member of the crew.
