Wiki Biography / Profile Background
Introduction :
Paul Klein is an American musician and a former model. Despite success in both industries, he is most commonly known as the frontman in the band LANY.
Personal Life, Parents and Family Details :
- Paul Jason Klein was born on April 30, 1988, in Tulsa, Oklahoma. He is the oldest child born to parents Rick (father) and Teresa (mother). Paul has a sister named Sarah.
- In late 2017, Paul suffered heartbreak after a public breakup with fellow singer/songwriter Dua Lipa — an event that inspired Paul to write LANY’s latest album in just over a month.
- Later on, he was linked to American actress Nicola Peltz.
Early Life and Education :
- Once aspiring for a career as an NBA player or an orthodontist, Paul was instead destined for a completely different path – A life in the arts.
- He began taking classical piano lessons at just five years old — something he considered to be “nerdy.”
- His view changed at 10 or 11, after seeing Alicia Keys on MTV Unplugged, singing while playing the piano. Paul then added ‘jazz’ and ‘improv piano’ to his repertoire, taking lessons from his classical teacher’s daughter.
- Paul wrote his first song as a 16-year-old student at Victory Christian School. It was written to his “first love” (and first kiss) Maura Morris, asking her to prom. She said yes!
- After making a deal with his parents to buy him a car if he earned a full scholarship, Paul achieved that. He attended Oral Roberts University in his home state.
Work as a Model :
- Discovered as a model while seeking a fashion internship, Paul was luckily cast immediately, representing big brands like Prada, Banana Republic, and Zanerobe.
- Still into fashion, Paul revealed in a 2018 interview that he would like to become the creative director for Chanel (“or something like that”) once he retires from music.
LANY : Music Work and Net Worth
- While working as a solo musician in L.A., in 2014, Klein traveled to Nashville to collaborate with — now bandmates — Les Priest and Jake Goss. The trio released two songs on SoundCloud, after just six days, numerous record labels approached them. In 2015, LANY was officially formed and the band signed with Polydor Records.
- LANY has since taken off. They have opened for the likes of Ellie Goulding, Halsey, and John Mayer (the latter of whom Paul considers “Pretty Much God.”)
- LANY has toured across North America, Europe, the UK, Australia, and Asia, and have performed at big music fests like Lollapalooza, Bonnaroo, and Coachella.
- At their first arena concert — held in the Philippines — tickets sold out in less than 24 hours. Rolling Stones has called Paul one of the “10 artists you need to know.”
Fun Facts, Height and Trivia :
- Before settling on LANY (a combination of Los Angeles and New York) the band almost called themselves TTYL. When asked why they changed their mind, Paul said, “We didn’t want to be 13 for the rest of our lives.”
- For the first year of their formation, the LANY trio lived in a one-bedroom apartment in L.A.
- Hands-on, Paul personally runs the band’s social media sites and is directly involved with their merchandising.
- Not the only successful Klein, his sister Sarah was named Miss Oklahoma in 2016.
- His nickname is “Big Soda” for his love of soda — preferably over crushed ice.
