Joel Jay Lane, known simply as Joel, is an American singer, model, radio DJ, broadcaster, voice actor and former member of BTL (비티엘). His father is an American soldier in the U.S. Navy, and his mother is South Korean. He moved to South Korea in 2006 after living in the U.S. and Germany. He graduated from Yonsei University with a degree in Political Science.

He made his debut in May 2014 (under the stage name Jay) as BTL's main rapper, vocalist, visual and face of the group with their first single, “Beyond The Limit”.

The group was managed by Shinhoo Entertainment (신후이엔티; formerly known as Kiroy Company) but faced many financial and logistic issues after Kiroy merged with SI Entertainment and acquired Shinhoo (keeping that name) in mid-2015. The group did not release any new material after their debut, as their mini-album "Gold Moon" was completed but went unreleased when the agency went broke and closed down. They disbanded in April 2016.

He then moved to modeling and also became a radio DJ for TBS eFM 101.3. He has a YouTube podcast known as the "Korean Cowboys" with former NU'EST member Aron. He briefly reunited with 3 other groupmates for the singing survival show "Peak Time" in 2023 but was unsuccessful.

He is currently represented by A2Z Entertainment (에이투지엔터테인먼트).
