Wong also performed at The Piano Man Jazz Club in New Delhi on March 6 as part of the Road to Lolla India event. This was Wong's first performance in India.

Wong, who turned 40 on March 8, released a six-track EP as a lead artist in 2016. The following year, he debuted as a solo artist with the album Cory Wong and The Green Screen Band.

Between 2020 and 2022, during the COVID-19 pandemic, Wong released multiple solo and collaborative albums, including The Golden Hour, Turbo and Tailwinds. He also launched a music podcast for Premier Guitar magazine and produced a YouTube music-comedy-variety show. His recent collaborations include recordings with Vaundy and Huntertones as a featured artist.

Zedd, on the other hand, recently collaborated with the Japanese vocal duo C & K to perform Jaka Jaan, the opening theme song for the 2024 anime series Dragon Ball Daima.
