The band’s first arena concert, a sold-out show at the Smart Araneta Coliseum in the Philippines, took place on April 5, 2018, marking a significant milestone in their global reach. Continuing their prolific output, Klein led LANY through the release of Mama’s Boy on October 2, 2020, and gg bb xx on September 3, 2021. His artistic vision and musical contributions, encompassing songwriting, production, and captivating live performances, have consistently driven LANY’s commercial success and critical acclaim.
