Khalid has been surrounded by music his entire life. He grew up in a military family, his mother is a singer with the Army and he was introduced to music at an early age. Khalid spent most of his childhood in Germany before moving to Watertown, NY for High School. The summer going into his senior year of High School, Khalid's family was ordered to relocate to El Paso, TX. By 18-years-old, Khalid, who is classically vocal trained, had drawn on his experiences with moving often and the unique experience of growing up having lived in two continents and parlayed them into the creation of his viral smash, “Location” which helped him to land a major label deal with RCA Records/Right Hand Music Group.  Khalid released “Location” before his high school graduation and it garnered over 1.52 million plays in less than two months, along with critical praise from music tastemakers such as Pigeons & Planes, Earmilk, and more.  Recently, Khalid released the music video for “Location” (Click HERE to watch).  Following “Location”, he released “Let’s Go” (Click HERE to listen), as well as his latest track, “Hopeless” (Click HERE to listen).  Khalid will be releasing his debut album via RCA Records/Right Hand Music Group in early 2017.
