When he was in high school, the young man started studying singing and acting. Khalid uploaded his first songs to SoundCloud when he was still a teenager.

At the beginning of 2016, Robinson signed a contract with two labels, Right Hand Music Group and RCA Records. Soon one of the singles he worked on with Alina Baraz came out. “Electric” didn’t enter any charts but became a good start for Robinson’s career. The next single, which Khalid worked on together with Brasstracks “Whirlwind” was successful on SoundCloud.

One of Robinson’s songs “Location” became an overnight hit. It came out in August 2016 as the lead single from the upcoming studio album.

At about the same time, Khalid received a Woodie Award and an MTV Video Music Award. He was also nominated for several prizes at BET Awards and MTV Europe Music Awards.
