Boston native
Kane Roberts became hooked on music at a young age and would eventually serve stints as guitarist for several high-profile rock acts, most notably
Alice Cooper. Influenced by
Jimi Hendrix and
Led Zeppelin,
Roberts was already forming bands in junior high school. After a very brief period attending Boston University, he was accepted at the New England Conservatory of Music, where he studied classical and jazz guitar for two and a half years. In New York,
Roberts turned his attention back to rock-playing sessions and formed a band, Criminal Justice. In 1986,
Roberts was enlisted to play for
Alice Cooper, for whom he had done an opening gig the year before. During the late '80s,
Roberts not only toured with
Cooper, but co-wrote and arranged tracks for
Cooper's
Constrictor,
Trash, and
Raise Your Fist and Yell albums. He also found time to release his self-titled solo debut in 1987. Leaving
Cooper's band in 1991 to pursue his solo career,
Roberts released
Saints & Sinners the same year, scoring a Top 40 hit with the single "Does Anybody Really Fall in Love Anymore?" (which was co-written with
Jon Bon Jovi and
Richie Sambora). By the late '90s,
Roberts had turned his attention to multimedia projects, including designing video games, computer graphics, artwork, and websites. ~ Tom Demalon
