Daniel Andrew Johnson (born December 20, 1986), professionally known as Kane Beatz, is an American record producer and songwriter from Orlando, Florida.

Life and career

Johnson's first success as a music producer came while he was still in high school selling his beats on the internet. Working with artists such as Micah T from Invasion Productions, he was soon contacted by Mike Caren, Executive Vice President of A&R for Atlantic Records, who signed him to a publishing contract with the label.

Since then, Kane founded his own label called The Building. The first artist signed was The Mad Violinist. Since then he signed songwriter Kief Brown and producer Jeremy "JMIKE" Coleman, who signed in a joint venture with Dr. Luke's Prescription Songs.

Artistry

Musical style

Johnson tags most of his beats with a robotic male voice saying, "Kane is in the building, n***a."

Influences

He has stated that his favorite producers and largest musical influences are Timbaland, Dr. Dre, and Mannie Fresh.
