Talking about his interest in music and how he managed it all as a fresh high school graduate, Khalid said, “My high school was what crafted my interest in recording.

Early Days of Khalid

Khalid Amhearst Robinson was born in Beirut, Lebanon, on 11^th February, 1998. His mother had to move around a lot due to her military career, which is why Khalid’s childhood was spent in multiple locations, including New York, Kentucky and Germany. The young star developed an interest in music in high school, where he studied singing and musical theater. After his family moved to El Paso, Khalid graduated from the Americas High School.

Talking about how his move to El Paso was instrumental in his career, Khalid said, “I didn’t feel like I had a home until I moved to El Paso. The love and the friendships I made were influential. El Paso is where I started. I don’t feel like I’d be making the music I’m making now if I hadn’t gone there.”

Musical Beginnings and Stardom

Khalid started working on music in 2015, while still in high school. He incorporated influences of multiple artists, such as Father John Misty and Frank Ocean and posted his songs online. Soon he connected with the producer SkySense, who saw potential in Khalid. SkySense, along with Tunji Ige and Smash David worked on the first single by Khalid – “Location”. The song was released in the middle of 2016 and quickly rose up in the charts. It managed to break into the Top 10 of Billboard’s Hot R&B Songs chart in January 2017. Another single from the upcoming album was released, titled “Hopeless”. This single was also very well received by audiences across the country.

Khalid’s first single was a massive success and helped him reach number 2 on the Billboard Twitter Emerging Artists chart by July 2016. He also appeared on multiple other publications, including Billboard, Rolling Stone, Buzzfeed and Yahoo. The single “Location” closed the year 2016 at No. 20 on Billboard’s Mainstream R&B/Hip-Hop Airplay Chart.

The video for this song got more than six million views within the first four months of its release on YouTube. The song itself was streamed for more than 35 million times on Spotify.

Collaborations

The Success Story
