Rising star Sulaimon Solomon, popularly known as Khaid, has opened up about his extraordinary journey from a grease-covered mechanic to a promising force in the music industry.
The Neville Records signee credited his family’s diverse musical tastes for shaping his musical journey, which started during his secondary school years through an annual rap competition.
Despite his musical aspirations, Khaid mentioned he initially ventured into various street hustles, including stints as a mechanic, painter, and barber. His life took a turn when Sydney Talker, now a close friend, first contacted him on Instagram and he performed six songs during a key freestyle session at the skit makers house. He also revealed his ongoing plans to pursue higher education, highlighting a desire to attend university in the future.
