WATCH: Khalid Looks Back on 2017

Apparently, this last year played out exactly how Khalid dreamed it up.

The 19-year-old, soulful Texas native broke onto the scene with a pair of hits, "Location" and "Young Dumb & Broke," off his critically acclaimed debut album, American Dream. The Certified Platinum record peaked at number 4 on the charts, with both "Location" hitting #2 on the U.S. R&B charts and "Young Dumb & Broke" hitting #1.
