He received a Recording Industry Association of America Platinum Album Award for his production work on Hairspray: Soundtrack to the Motion Picture. Piane collaborated with composer and songwriter Marc Shaiman on projects including Team America: World Police, Rumor Has It…, Hairspray, the Broadway production Martin Short: Fame Becomes Me and the 76th Academy Awards. His other composing credits included the HBO documentary An Omar Broadway Film and the film Pretty Ugly People. He also wrote “Year End Rap,” performed by Perez Hilton for a VH1 special, and “Stunning” for Calpernia Addams’s reality television show Transamerican Love Story. In 2009, Piane worked on RuPaul’s album Champion, connecting his music production to the performer whose television franchise became part of his public profile.
