Lane Pittman (born 2007) is an Australian country singer-songwriter. Pittman went viral aged 15 with his audition for 2022 season of The Voice Australia, where he sung "Even Though I'm Leaving" by Luke Combs. In 2024, Chugg Music released his self-titled extended play (EP).

Career

Lane Pittman was born in Mount Isa, Queensland, and raised in Tamworth, New South Wales,[1] known for the Tamworth Country Music Festival. Pittman told Rolling Stone Australia that since joining the choir in primary school, "I kind of always had dreamed of doing music as a job." He did several gigs in 2020 before the COVID-19 lockdowns.[2]

In April 2022,[1] Pittman auditioned for The Voice with a rendition of "Even Though I'm Leaving" by Luke Combs. He was 15. He did it only because his friends dared him to.[3] Nevertheless, his performance impressed the judges and received millions of views on social media. Pittman joined Keith Urban's team and reached the semi-finals,[2][4] where he sang "Father and Son".[3] Urban, a country artist, praised him for his authenticity.[2]

In 2023, Combs eventually noticed Pittman's viral audition and invited him to open for his world tour's Australian leg. Pittman began playing for larger audiences.[2][4] In August 2023, he released "Love in a Country Town", followed by "Ain't Too Much to Ask" in November 2023. The two singles appeared on his self-titled, six-track extended play (EP) released by Chugg Music in March 2024.[5][6] Lane Pittman peaked at #8 on the Australian Artist Albums Chart and #14 on the ARIA Country Albums Chart.[7][8]

In January 2025, Pittman was also awarded a Golden Guitar Award for New Talent of the Year at the Tamworth Country Music Festival.[4] The same month, Combs invited Pittman back for the Australian and New Zealand shows of his Growin' Up and Gettin' Old Tour (2024–2025). It included some of the biggest shows of Pittman's career, such as Stadium Australia in Sydney.[4] It was also his first time overseas.[6]
