About Khalid: The Voice of a Generation

Few artists have captured the millennial and Gen-Z experience quite like Khalid. Born Khalid Donnel Robinson on February 11, 1998, in Fort Stewart, Georgia, he grew up as a military kid, moving between bases in Germany, New York, Kentucky, and ultimately El Paso, Texas—the city he now calls home. That transient childhood, full of goodbyes and fresh starts, gave him a unique perspective on connection and belonging that permeates his music.

While attending Americas High School in El Paso, Khalid began uploading songs to SoundCloud. His 2016 single "Location"—written and recorded the week before his senior prom—went viral, eventually earning diamond certification (10 million units sold) from the RIAA. That song launched a career that has since accumulated over 35 billion global streams, seven Grammy nominations, and collaborations with everyone from Billie Eilish to Ed Sheeran.

The Evolution: From American Teen to After The Sun Goes Down

Khalid's musical journey reflects genuine artistic growth:

American Teen (2017) introduced the world to Khalid's gift for capturing youthful vulnerability. The album debuted at #4 on the Billboard 200, spawning hits like "Location" and "Young Dumb & Broke" (also diamond-certified). Critics praised its honest portrayal of high school life—late-night drives, first loves, and the bittersweet feeling of growing up.

Free Spirit (2019) saw Khalid mature, addressing themes of heartbreak and self-discovery. The album became his first #1, powered by the Disclosure-produced single "Talk," which earned Grammy nominations for Record of the Year and Best R&B Song.

Sincere (2024) arrived after a period of personal reflection, debuting at #2 on the Top R&B Albums chart. Khalid described it as his most introspective work yet.

After The Sun Goes Down (2025) marks a bold new chapter. Released October 10, 2025, via Right Hand Music Group/RCA Records, the album finds Khalid embracing pop influences from the 2000s while celebrating his identity as a queer Black artist. Singles "In Plain Sight" and "Out of Body" showcase a more confident, liberated sound—and the It's Always Summer Somewhere Tour brings this energy to stages across America.

Collaborations That Defined a Decade

Khalid's voice has become one of the most sought-after in modern music. His collaborations read like a playlist of the decade's biggest moments:

• "1-800-273-8255" with Logic & Alessia Cara — A mental health anthem that reached #3 on the Hot 100 and sparked important conversations
• "lovely" with Billie Eilish — Featured on the 13 Reasons Why soundtrack; has amassed billions of streams
• "Eastside" with Benny Blanco & Halsey — A summer 2018 smash that hit #9 on the Hot 100

• "Silence" with Marshmello — 6x Platinum EDM crossover hit
• "Beautiful People" with Ed Sheeran — Reached #13 on the Hot 100
• "Talk" produced by Disclosure — Grammy-nominated track from Free Spirit
