Dane

Dane is the bassist of hrtz.wav, the five-piece band formed through Mnet's Steal Heart Club and launched by Kakao Entertainment. He officially debuted on April 8, 2026 with The First Wave, arriving as one of the lineup's clearest all-rounders because Kakao's own rollout stressed that he writes, composes, arranges, and handles vocals in addition to bass.

That broader skill set matters because hrtz.wav is being sold as a real youth-pop rock band, not an idol project borrowing instruments for styling. Dane gives songs like NINETEEN their low-end drive, but he also sits inside the band's creative identity from day one. Kakao said every member participated in the lyrics for the debut single, which places him inside the writing story instead of locking him into a backing role.

The first month of activity already widened his profile. hrtz.wav moved from debut promotions into major festival bookings and then into drama soundtrack work with You Keep Me Here for Perfect Crown. For Dane, that early run matters because it shows both range and durability. He entered the market as a bassist. He is already being framed as one of the members most capable of shaping where the band goes next.
