Despite his family affiliation with show business, Lane was a young basketball prospect. Lane’s father Don was the head basketball coach at St Aloysius’ College.

While attending Westlake High, Lane continued his music study with former Beach Boys keyboard player Mike Meros.
Upon his completion of high school Lane was awarded a full basketball scholarship to Southern Connecticut State University.

He played for the teams of Apollon Patras BC, Aigio, and AS Manis.
Lane returned to Australia in 2009. An article in the Australian Women's Day stated that his father's deteriorating health brought him back to Australia and prevented him from returning to Europe despite some lucrative offers.
