Khalid Robinson has officially become the 2017 Best New Artist of the Year after winning the MTV VMA Award this past month. At only nineteen, he has put in a lot of work to be where he is at now.
So, how is he gaining so much success?
1. His debut single was certified platinum.
At such a young age, Khalid is already showing the world that anything is possible! His debut single “Location” has topped the Billboard charts and been certified double platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America, platinum by the Australian Recording Industry Association, and platinum by the Recording Industry Association of New Zealand.
2. He is collaborating with big names.
Calvin Harris, Logic, and Marshmello are just a couple of the artists that Khalid has been featured with just this year alone. Of course, his career is just starting, but he’s already off to a good start.
Collaborating with other musicians is a great way to expand your connections, move up, and gain exposure.
3. He sold out his tour.
His first ever tour was sold out within weeks. The Location Tour stopped at 21 different cities, which began in Chicago and ended in California.
Selling out your first tour is probably a sign that you are on the right path.
With such a soulful sound, Khalid has grabbed the attention of millions of fans across the world. With this as the start of his music career, you can expect many great things to come in the future.
