Khalid Donnel Robinson built a chart-dominating career from viral singles and strategic collaborations. Born February 11, 1998, in El Paso, Texas, he signed with Courtney Stewart's Right Hand Music Group under RCA Records to release "Location" (2016) and "Young Dumb & Broke" (2017), both diamond-certified and top-20 Billboard Hot 100 entries. His debut studio album American Teen (2017) achieved quadruple platinum certification and was nominated for Best Urban Contemporary Album at the 60th Annual Grammy Awards.
In April 2017, Khalid guest performed on Logic's "1-800-273-8255" alongside Alessia Cara, earning a Grammy nomination for Song of the Year.

Later that year, "Better" became his third consecutive top-ten single, preceding the EP Suncity.
