About Laney

Born and raised near Dallas, TX, Laney began her career as a professional backup dancer with Christian music artist Britt Nicole in 2014. Before falling in love with dancing, Laney's first and forever love wasn't a hobby or career, but a Savior and best friend Jesus. Laney specifically remembers being afraid of the dark as a little girl, and her mom telling her to "speak the name of Jesus." This simple but profound idea became the anchor of Laney's heart. But after hundreds of shows as a backup dancer, Laney found herself at the end of an amazing and challenging season. With a desire to create in new ways, Laney moved to Nashville and began writing songs after four years on the road. Soon after, Laney released her debut single "Safe Place" in 2018. The following year Laney launched a boutique clothing brand and married her husband Clayton. In 2021, Laney gave birth to Rhonny Grace and authored Speak Your Name: Devotions and Declarations on the Reality of Jesus

Today, Laney lives with her family in Dallas, TX. She continues to share about her life and Jesus in it through podcastswriting, worship and social media. Find out more about Laney on Instagram @heylaneyrene. For inquiries, please email info@laneyrene.com
