Lil Zane Surprises contestants at BET 106&Park Auditions for Blaze the Stage in Los Angeles

July 31, 2010 (EOTM PR) West Coast Blaze the Stage, contestants competed for the chance to perform on BET’s 106&Park Wild Out Wednesdays. Pat Charles himself, head writer of the show, flew all the way in from NY to sit on the judge’s panel at the Los Angeles Convention Center. It was already a climatic and jittery experience for the performers in front of Pat Charles, BET’s top executive, but when Lil Zane hopped on stage exuding years of experience, high energy, and an octane performance, the bars were raised dramatically.

Zane rocked the stage with a new up and coming west coast artist by the name of Tipse, who kicked off their performance with the throwback cut, “Anywhere”, then later hit the crowd with a track off of his new mix tape, titled, “Put it in my Lap”.

At the closing of the program Zane was brought back on stage to enlighten the 106&Park hopefuls with advice on the industry and helped the rising stars to stay motivated, grounded, and to never give up on their dream. “Rehearse, rehearse, and rehearse, learn this business front to back and keep it original”, was the nugget Zane shared with the teens before walking off the stage.

Lil Zane most recently launched his new tour, “The Follow me Tour”, his return to the music industry. For the past couple years Zane has had roles in “A Day in the Life”, “Cold Case”, “Motives”, “The Fighting Temptations”, “Dr. Doolittle 2”, “Finding Forrester” and more.
