Mini bio
How it started.
Born in New Orleans to Palestinian parents, Khaled built relationships with future collaborators while working at Odyssey Records. He later moved to Miami, DJed in clubs and soundclashes, and worked his way from pirate radio to commercial radio, including a show with Luther Campbell on 99 Jamz.
Bringing people together.
His debut album, Listennn... the Album, arrived in 2006. The friendships he made as a DJ became the foundation of records that brought several artists into the same room. By 2017, he had a Billboard Hot 100 No. 1 with I’m the One, featuring Justin Bieber, Quavo, Chance the Rapper and Lil Wayne.
The voice fans know.
His motivational Snapchat videos helped bring his personality to a wider audience in 2015 and 2016. Alongside the music, fans came to know his daily affirmations and keys to success.
More chapters.
Higher, with Nipsey Hussle and John Legend, won Best Rap/Sung Performance at the 2020 Grammys. GOD DID followed in 2022 and became his fourth album to debut at No. 1 on the Billboard 200. His recent singles continue his mix of hip-hop collaborations and dancehall connections.
