“I’ve been working so hard to make music that really emulates what’s inside of me,” he told Billboard at the American Music Awards, where he won Favorite Male Artist for Soul/R&B. “And I’ve really been taking risks, so hopefully the risks pay off.”
Suncity marks Khalid’s first project 2017’s Grammy-nominated debut American Teen, which was certified platinum and spawned the hit singles “Location” and “Young Dumb & Broke.” His Normani collaboration “Love Lies” peaked at No. 9 on the Billboard Hot 100.
