Khalid KACIE TOMITA/RCA RECORDS
Khalid is set to perform for his fans in the Philippines.
The young singer-songwriter known for his coming-of-age R&B tunes will hold a concert on Nov. 2 at the Smart Araneta Coliseum.
The one-night gig—mounted by Midas Promotions—is part of the American artist’s world tour, “American Teen,” which kicked off last year in support of his debut studio album of the same title (call 911-5555).
Khalid, whose full name is Khalid Donnel Robinson, is behind such hit songs as “OTW,” “Young, Dumb and Broke,” “Location” and “8Teen.” He has also produced chart-topping tunes in collaboration with other artists, including Shawn Mendes, Normani, Calvin Harris, Marshmello and Martin Garrix.
Just 20 years old, Khalid has already bagged a handful of best new artist trophies, and received five Grammy nods last year.—ALLAN POLICARPIO
