This is not a feat that is unfamiliar to him; Wei has been credited on acclaimed tracks like ‘I Wouldn’t know Any Better Than You’ and ‘Sunshine’ by Stray Kids, a K-Pop boy band by JYP Entertainment. Furthermore, Wei has worked on the soundtrack for Steven Spielberg’s 2020 film 'The Turning', as well as co-producing ‘Soldiers’ by Rachel Platten - which went on to soundtrack the 19th edition of the famed singing competition American Idol.
