Early Life and Career Beginnings
Khaled was born Khaled Mohamed Khaled in New Orleans to Palestinian immigrant parents -- his father from Al-Mazra'a ash-Sharqiya and his mother from Ramallah -- both musicians who introduced him to music early. He worked at a New Orleans record store as a teenager, where he first crossed paths with Birdman and Lil Wayne, before moving to Miami in 1998 and co-hosting "The Luke Show" on radio station 99 Jamz. By 2003, he had his own weeknight show, "The Takeover," which built the connections and audience that launched his recording career. He also worked as a DJ and producer within Fat Joe's Terror Squad collective during this period.
Building a Music Career
Khaled's debut album, "Listennn... the Album," reached the Billboard 200's top 15 upon its 2006 release. His third album produced the RIAA-certified platinum single "I'm So Hood" in 2008, and he was named Def Jam South's president the following year. Over the following decade, hit singles like "All I Do Is Win" (2010) and "I'm the One" (2017) made him a fixture on hip hop radio and helped him build one of the genre's most recognizable personal brands, driven as much by his social-media presence and catchphrases as by his production work.
Recent Work
Khaled has continued releasing albums regularly in the 2020s, including "Khaled Khaled" (2021) and "God Did" (2022), and has announced a follow-up, "Aalam of God," for 2026. In November 2018, he settled with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission for $50,000 over undisclosed payments he received for promoting a cryptocurrency without proper disclosure.
