Jane has worked full-time at a vineyard until 2009. By then, he already had years of experience playing the guitar, but never professionalized his hobby. Since 2006, he has been associated with the collective behind Red Horse Records. In 2009, he began writing his debut album, under his stage name Sawyer Hillbilly. In October 2010, the album Sound Like A Hillbilly was released in Libertas, and sold well. The first single off the album, "Here Come The Blues" was released in both Libertas and Lovia, marking the label's first move into the international music scene. As the release of the single proved profitable, Red Horse announced it was willing to release the album in Lovia too.
