Khalid Donnel Robinson, known mononymously as Khalid, is a contemporary R&B singer and songwriter who first captured the hearts of listeners with his soulful voice and introspective lyrics. Born on February 11, 1998, in Fort Stewart, Georgia, Khalid's nomadic upbringing as an army brat saw him absorbing a rich tapestry of sounds and cultural influences before his family ultimately settled in El Paso, Texas. Khalid's breakout moment arrived with his hit single "Location" in 2016, released just before his high school graduation, which set the tone for his debut studio album "American Teen" in 2017. The album received critical acclaim and garnered him a strong youth following, resonating with listeners for its themes of love, youth, and self-discovery.

In the subsequent years, Khalid has established himself as a fixture in modern R&B and pop music, collaborating with various artists and consistently delivering chart-topping tunes. Among his recent forays into music, Khalid has expanded his repertoire, contributing to 'Barbie The Album' with the track "Silver Platter" and showing his versatility across genres. His singles such as "Be The One," "Softest Touch," and "We Go Down Together" highlight his collaborative spirit and ability to adapt to different musical styles, while tracks like "Not Alone" and "Satellite" continue to showcase his signature soothing melodies and vulnerability in songwriting. With multiple awards and nominations to his name, including several Billboard Music Awards and Grammy nominations, Khalid continues to evolve as an artist while maintaining the emotional honesty that has defined his career thus far.
