Mason Klane was born in Toronto, Ontario in the Winter of ’93. He spent most of his childhood in Scarborough before moving to the city of Montreal with his mother and brothers in 2002. Fast forward to 2011; Mason got admitted to the Communications & Media Studies program at Vanier College where he developed a penchant for cinema and visual media. He tackled on a wide variety of creative projects such as writing and directing his own student films. He picked up a great deal of knowledge in video editing software like Final Cut and Adobe Premier. In roughly five semesters he learned how to operate a digital single-lens reflex camera, apply lighting techniques to photoshoots and movie sets, field record for sound, direct actors, write scripts, make shot lists, etc.
 

  A few years later, Mason purchased a cheap Fender Squier Stratocaster, a Yamaha YC Reface organ and began writing and recording rough demos (lyrics, instrumentation, and vocals). A large portion of his influences come from Psychedelic Rock, Folk, Baroque Pop, indie music and not to mention his obsession with genres of music between the 60’s to late 70s (Freakbeat, Garage, Progressive Rock /Art Rock). For leisure, the discreet “Disk Jockey” can either be found sitting in front of his beloved TEAC tape deck, making self-mixed playlists of songs from artists he admired onto cassettes or out under the sunshine, biking away from the city to get somepeace of mind and inspiration.

  After much exploration, practice and innovation with music, Mason enrolled in the Audio Recording Technology attestation program at Vanier College to develop a technical skillset. During this intensive 7-month session, Mason acquired both theoretical and practical knowledge in audio. He learned how to mic up a variety of instruments (drums, guitars, acoustic piano), record through the Yamaha O2R digital console and mix in popular digital audio workstations such as Reaper and Cubase. Other picked up skills include operating synthesizers, creating music with MIDI sequencing and spotting and synching for film/video.
