Khalid

Multi-platinum selling global superstar Khalid, who was named one of Time’s Most Influential People of 2019, has taken the world by storm since his first single, “Location” (released right before his high school graduation) exploded onto the scene, leading to a major label deal with Right Hand Music Group/RCA Records followed by the release of his debut album, American Teen. His sophomore album, Free Spirit, was released in 2019. The album debuted at #1 on the Top 200 and features the GRAMMY-nominated multi-format #1 single “Talk”. 

Khalid has been streamed over 30 billion times worldwide across all partners, has been nominated for 7 GRAMMYS and has won numerous awards, including 6 Billboard Music Awards, 3 American Music Awards, a Teen Choice Award, an MTV Video Music Award, and an MTV Woodie Award. 

Khalid has collaborated with some of music’s biggest stars, including his #1 singles “Love Lies” (with Normani), “Eastside” (with Halsey and Benny Blanco) as well as hits with artists Billie Eilish, Shawn Mendes, Marshmello and more. 

The Mayor and Council of the City of El Paso honored Khalid with a “Key To The City” marking September 13th, 2018 “Khalid Day.” Khalid, alongside his mother, launched The Great Khalid Foundation, which is committed to helping families by alleviating a burden of need. Khalid’s “Free Spirit World Tour” took him to arenas all over the globe in 2019. 

In 2020, Khalid released the tracks “Eleven” and “Know Your Worth” with Disclosure. He was named the youngest artist to surpass 15 billion streams on Spotify alone and was named BMI’s Pop Songwriter of the Year (alongside Post Malone.) 

During the summer of 2021, Khalid debuted his track “New Normal” at Virgin Galactic’s “Unity 22” Spaceflight launch. The song played on the shuttle during its descent back to earth, and Khalid was also on hand to perform for the crew, including Sir Richard Branson, after they completed their mission.

To close out 2021, Khalid released his Scenic Drive tape which he describes as a companion piece to his 2018 EP Sun City. His third studio album will be released later this year.
