By: Zirlei Rosales, Posted: March 30, 2017 Upcoming artist Khalid drops his first album titled American Teen and has everyone on their feet.
18 year old Khalid Robinson is an up-and-coming R&B artist out of El Paso, Texas. Khalid bursted onto the scene after Kylie Jenner featured his single “Location” in one of her social medias. His previously released singles “Coaster”, “Saved”, and “Lets Go” also made it onto his debut album, American Teen on March 3rd, 2017. Khalids inspiration for the album was love and heartbreak. He states, “Once you're in that of a fresh breakup or you're splitting with whoever, it always seems that, then and there, is the hardest part, because the feeling, the emotions are raw and that increases the time. You look back at things that will hurt you. I feel like I was going through that a long time until I stopped going through it. I realized it was a short part of my life, but it still hits me as if it was a long part of my life.” Khalid also says that his mother is his biggest musical inspiration. Born on February 11, 1998 in Fort Stewart, Georgia, he spent his childhood in various locations because of his mother's career in the military. His mother worked as a supply technician for over 10 years. Over time, she got the opportunity to sing in the U.S. Army band. Khalid sold out every venue on his 21-city “Location Tour”. He is scheduled to perform next on Wednesday March 29th in Minneapolis. On the first week of February, Apple Music named Khalid its first artist of the week. His take on beats and melodies deliver a calming and positive vibe, something a lot of people seem to enjoy. It is safe to say that we haven't seen all of what this young, bright and talented artist has to offer.
