Lucian Piane (born October 4, 1980),[1] also known by the Internet nickname RevoLucian, is an American composer and music producer.
[2] He has worked closely with composer and songwriter Marc Shaiman; the two have collaborated on such films as Team America: World Police, Rumor Has It... and Hairspray, as well as the Broadway show Martin Short: Fame Becomes Me,[3] and the 76th Academy Awards.
Piane also wrote the song "Stunning" for Calpernia Addams for her reality television show, Transamerican Love Story.
Published under his online name RevoLucian, Piane has released remixes featuring Barbra Streisand,[9] Alaska Governor Sarah Palin,[10] political commentator Bill O'Reilly,[11] and Andrew Meyer, who received national media attention when he was tasered by police during a speech given by U.S.
"[13][14] His remix of Streisand's 2006 outburst was described as a "dance-tastic song" by Maxine Shen and Raakhee Mirchandani of the New York Post who highlighted it on their hot list of "What We're Obsessed With This Week".
[15] Louis Bayard of Salon highlighted Piane's remix of the O'Reilly outburst made public in 2008, in their "Critics' Picks" column.
[7] On November 3, 2016, Piane generated controversy when he sent out a series of tweets and Instagram posts that implied the Clintons had murdered people, that Michelle Obama was an "idiot" and various other conspiracies.
This led to a major backlash against his longstanding ties with RuPaul, who came to Piane's defense, attributing the incidents to mental illness.
