Khaliah

Khaliah was born and raised in Kansas City where she was exposed to a wide range of musical genres and styles, which shaped her indefinable musical appeal. From an early age, Khaliah nurtured her love for music through a variety of musical outlets including orchestra, band, and musical theater. She traveled the world with professional touring companies before coming to Los Angeles to begin her career in the record business.
Khaliah is now a regular performer at many local Los Angeles live music venues. A band of outstanding musicians accompanied her and has helped create her signature live sound. She also produced and hosted her own event, Sovereign, where she performed her original material and invited other independent artists to showcase their talents in front of a live audience.
Her debut album, New Category, is a reflection of Khaliah's creative, independent spirit, and her desire to reach her listeners through the purity of music, the resonance of lyrics and the souls of live musicians. Taking those elements and combining them with her love for Hip-Hop and its culture, this Kansas City native was prepared to give music lovers something they haven't heard before. Music Connection Magazine wrote that Khaliah's music "crosses the borders between R&B, jazz, pop-rock, fusion and funk... is an entertaining artist with loads of talent and well-crafted songs. Even establised and national acts would be fearful to follow this act. Khaliah is the real deal, plain and simple". She takes unlikely mixes of musical styles and combines them with her uncanny ability for writing lyrics to produce a song that is uniquely hers. Listeners from diverse backgrounds appreciate her ability to connect with the audience and touch everyone with her intoxicating blend of styles.
