Khalid

Multi-platinum selling global superstar Khalid has taken the world by storm with his blend of smooth R&B fused with electro-pop and 80s-inspired synths since his first single, the RIAA-certified diamond ‘Location’ – released right before his high school graduation.

Since then, he has released several albums to critical acclaim, earned more than 35.6 billion streams across all partners and seven GRAMMY Award nominations, and collaborated with some of music’s biggest stars.

Khalid’s debut album, American Teen, has received mass critical acclaim with The New York Times calling it “a promising amalgam of bedroom art-soul and 1980s new-wave pop maximalism, and a union of lonely-boy mirror gazing with a sense of larger cultural purpose”.

TIME noted, “Preternaturally soulful 19-year-old Texan singer-songwriter Khalid has a way with beats—and words—that speaks to the modern American experience of youth in a natural, resonant way.”

Khalid has also performed on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, The Ellen DeGeneres Show, Good Morning America, and at this year’s SXSW where he won MTV’s Woodie To Watch Award.

Khalid has nearly half a billion streams worldwide across all partners, and “Location” peaked at #1 at Urban Radio, hit the top 5 at Rhythmic Radio, and in the top 20 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart.
