“I like mixing it up,” Wong says, “and it informed the way I wanted to approach making this album. At this point in my creative journey, I’m constantly trying to find ways to challenge myself and make myself better. I worked with great co-writers and collaborators that kept me honest and pushed me to be better than ever while making this album. I feel like I’m at an era in my life where I’ve been more creatively charged than ever, and I’m constantly inspired by getting to make music and travel the world with my friends playing music. It’s a gift and I truly am ‘The Lucky One.’”
Wong – whose summer included top-billed festival appearances, dates alongside O.A.R. and Nile Rodgers, and his first-ever shows in Japan, Thailand, Jakarta, and Hawaii – will celebrate The Lucky One with a non-stop live schedule. Upcoming highlights include a role as Musical Director for the eagerly awaited 2023 JammJam at Las Vegas, NV’s Life Is Beautiful (September 22), an EU/UK headline tour, and a star-studded installment of the NY Phil’s “The 65th Street Sessions” series at Lincoln Center that will see Wong unite with Louis Cato (bandleader of The Late Show Band), GRAMMY® Award-winning singer-songwriter/bassist Meshell Ndegeocello, and mandolin virtuoso Chris Thile (November 28).
