Mini bio
How it started.
Khalid grew up moving with his mother, who sang in the US Army. In an early NYLON interview, he described living in Germany and New York before moving to El Paso. That difficult move became a reason to write: friends encouraged him to record the songs he was beginning to sing for himself.
The breakout.
He uploaded “Location” in 2016, while still a teenager in El Paso. The song brought him a record deal with Right Hand Music Group and RCA Records. American Teen followed in March 2017, turning adolescent uncertainty into songs such as “Young Dumb & Broke.”
A growing catalogue.
Free Spirit debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 in 2019 and included “Talk.” Alongside his own records, Khalid built a catalogue of collaborations, including “lovely” with Billie Eilish, “Love Lies” with Normani and “Eastside” with Benny Blanco and Halsey.
Where he is now.
Sincere arrived in 2024, followed by after the sun goes down in October 2025. His 2026 releases include collaborations with Lauv, Kygo and Gryffin, MEDUZA and ZERB, alongside the It’s Always Summer Somewhere Tour.
