About 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, the RIAA-certified diamond “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, the certified 4x platinum, American Teen. His sophomore album Free
Spirit, released to critical acclaim in 2019, was declared a New York Times “Critic’s Pick” and was called “superb”
by the Associated Press. The album, which has been certified 2x platinum, debuted at #1 on the Billboard Top 200
and features the GRAMMY-nominated multi-format #1 single “Talk”
. Khalid, who has been called a “pop prodigy” by
Rolling Stone has been streamed globally over 35.6 billion times across all partners, has been nominated for seven
GRAMMYS, and has won numerous awards including six Billboard Music Awards, four American Music Awards, two
iHeartRadio Music Awards, and an MTV Video Music Award, among others. He was honored at the 71st Annual BMI
Pop Awards with the Champion Award. He’s collaborated with some of music’s biggest stars including his #1 singles
“Love Lies” (with Normani) and “Eastside” (with Halsey and Benny Blanco) as well as Alicia Keys, Billie Eilish, Ed
Sheeran, and more.
In 2020, he was named the youngest artist to surpass 15 billion streams on Spotify alone and was named BMI’s Pop
Songwriter of the Year. To close out 2021, Khalid released his Scenic Drive tape which he describes as a companion
piece to his 2018 EP Sun City. Khalid and Marshmello teamed up again on their 2022 summer hit “Numb, ” making this the artist’s second collaboration following their 6x platinum smash hit “SILENCE” in 2017. In 2023, Khalid was featured on the official soundtrack for Greta Gerwig’s Barbie movie and joined Ed Sheeran in select cities across North America on his “+ – = ÷ x Tour.
” His 2024 third album Sincere showcased Khalid’s evolution as an artist and
person and explores the all-too-relatable feelings of growing up.
In October 2025, Khalid released his most recent album After The Sun Goes Down, a 17-track blend of smooth R&B fused with electro-pop, and 80s-inspired synths. Critics describe the project as “vibrant”, “authentic” , and “slinky”.The album produced two hit singles, “In Plain Sight” and “Nah”. After The Sun Goes Down is considered a major, refreshing, and joyous step in his artistry, ushering in a bold new chapter for Khalid. Simultaneously, Khalid
announced his “Always Summer Somewhere Tour” , the 25-date North American tour, kicks off in May 16, 2026, in Las Vegas.
In November 2025, Khalid was honored with the “Disruptor” Award from Billboard at the 2025 Live Billboard Music Summit.
