We’ve captured Khalid in his smooth and star-studded video for “Young Dumb & Broke” and in a heart-wrenching cover of Frank Ocean’s “Lost”—as if the platinum-selling artist couldn’t say it before, Khalid can now claim a success beyond hopes and dreams for debut album American Teen. He’s now signed with Broadcast Music Inc. (BMI), a giant in music rights management.

“In a very short time, Khalid has taken the world by storm with his wide-ranging talent. His music resonates deeply with fans of all ages, and we are honored that he chose BMI to support him in his continued growth as a songwriter and an artist,” said Mike Steinberg of BMI in a statement. “Khalid is a wonderful addition to the BMI family, and we can’t wait to see what’s next for him in 2018 and beyond.”

A few of Khalid’s collaborations that garnered attention: “1-800-837-8255” (with Logic and Alessia Cara), “Rollin’” (with Future and Calvin Harris) and “Homemade Dynamite” (with Post Malone, SZA and Lorde).
