While reacting to the announcement, an excited Khaid said: “I am so grateful and amazed with how far I have come and I am very excited to be an Apple Music Up Next artist and to see that my sound is being accepted globally. This encourages me more to make music for everyone, everywhere around the globe. As I said, I am diverse and I still maintain my ground. Diversity is the vision”
The 17 years old Teenager fell in love with music at an early age. It was his fluid and bold freestyle which served as an outlet for his talent that caught the ears of influencer and comedian Sydney Talker.
