RCA Records20-year-old Khalid is still “young,” but he is definitely not “dumb & broke” — his number one single was just certified triple platinum for sales of three million copies.
“Young Dumb & Broke” is the third single from Khalid’s platinum debut album American Teen, which was released a year ago tomorrow: March 3, 2017. On that day, Khalid tweeted, “March 3rd. My debut album. The day my life changes forever.”
He turned out to be right about that: American Teen earned him five Grammy nominations, including Best New Artist. Khalid also won Best New Artist at the MTV Video Music Awards, and he’s up for Favorite Breakout Artist at the Nickelodeon Kids Choice Awards.
Khalid also enjoyed success collaborating with Logic and Alessia Cara on the top 10 hit “1-800-273-8255;” with Marshmello on the track “Silence;” and, currently, with Fifth Harmony’s Normani Kordei on the duet “Love Lies.”
The singer from El Paso, Texas will kick off his North American Roxy Tour May 1 in Portland, Oregon, and will perform 24 dates, wrapping up June 7 in Raleigh, North Carolina.
