Singer Hits 27M Views With “The Best’ Cover Of Fleetwood Mac’s ‘Dreams’ On YouTube

Lanie Gardner is a gifted vocalist who became famous on social media with her versions of well-known songs. She was born on July 18, 1999, in Burnsville, North Carolina. Her dad, Rodger, is a businessman, and her mom’s name is Ashley. Lanie has a brother named Austin and two sisters, Aleigha and Brook.

Her interest in music and performing seems to come from her grandfather, who also dreamed of a career in music. His name, however, has not been made public, so it’s not clear if he achieved this goal. Lanie started singing at the age of four.

She possesses a naturally melodious voice, which was enhanced by starting to sing so young. She had been singing for more than ten years when she first shared her performances online. Her musical talent flourished, and she began writing her own songs at twelve. It’s amazing to think about someone being so creative at such a young age.

Previously, Laine would perform at local spots and make demo tapes hoping to catch a record label’s attention. These days, talent scouts mostly look online, and that’s where Lanie was spotted.

In 2016, Lanie started uploading videos of herself performing covers of famous songs on TikTok and YouTube. They were quite successful, each gathering over half a million views. Her rendition of Fleetwood Mac’s “Dreams” made her a global sensation. Uploaded just a year ago, it has now been viewed 43 million times. The song suits Lanie well, and some have noted her voice resembles that of Stevie Nicks from Fleetwood Mac.

Kevin Jonas Sr., father of the Jonas Brothers, was so impressed by her talent that he offered her a management deal with Jonas Group Entertainment. His son Joe, of the Jonas Brothers and DNCE, helped her secure a record contract with Republic Records. Due to her connections, Lanie also opened some concerts on the Jonas Brothers’ “Remember This” tour.

It’s not only the Jonas family that acknowledges her skills. David Guetta invited her to join him and Morten in a performance of “Dreams,” which was streamed over a million times on Spotify within three days of its release. Besides these notable shows, Lanie has a significant following online, with 339,000 subscribers on YouTube and 464,000 followers on TikTok.

Lanie’s life involves more than just performing. She also went to Middle Tennessee State University, though her major is unknown. It’s notable that she managed to pursue studies while kicking off her music career.

She has found time for romance too, sharing many photos with a young man named Max Rauch on her Instagram. He seems to be Lanie’s serious boyfriend, and they look very happy together. We can hope that both her relationship and her music career keep flourishing.
