Of Syrian and Algerian decent LOVERBOY Khaled, was born in New York City. After 9/11 him and his family relocated to Geneva Switzerland where he spent most of his teenage years. Khaled left home at the age of 17 and moved to England. “I’ve always been a sensitive person, I take it as a gift and a curse. Growing up with violence all around me I couldn’t ignore what I was seeing at a young age... it impacted me. Even looking at the news at breakfast or whatever. It had an effect [on me]. I always liked cartoons and movies cause they would take you to another place mentally. I guess I went into story telling because I was tired of hearing the negative ones that were being played every day...” “I try and promote unity, peace and love through my music — because there are enough songs that are out there about f***ing b***** and getting money”. “It’s my therapy and a digital auditory diary of how i feel. — i’m grateful to share and connect with people that might feel the same way i do, in this world”. xoxo
