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. In 2017 he released his debut album, the certified 4x platinum "American Teen”. His sophomore album "Free Spirit", released to critical acclaim in 2019, has been certified 2x platinum and debuted at #1 on the Billboard Top 200.
Khalid, who has been called a “pop prodigy” by Rolling Stone, has been streamed globally over 35.6 billion times, 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’s collaborated with some of music’s biggest stars including Normani, Halsey, Benny Blanco, as well as Alicia Keys, Billie Eilish, Marshmello, 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.
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”, with 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. In November 2025, Khalid was honored with the “Disruptor” Award from Billboard at the 2025 Live Billboard Music Summit. The award recognizes his impact on the music industry, genre fluidity, and innovative artistry. The same month, Khalid achieved significant chart success in the dance and electronic genre, notably reaching #1 on dance radio charts with "Nobody (Make Me Feel)” alongside Oskar Med K. Building on his strong momentum, in February 2026, Khalid released the KYGO and Griffyn collaboration, “Save My Love”, producing one of the fastest moving tracks on the 2026 dance charts.
