"10 million streams is my next goal..."

Khalid joins DB3 for the full 2 hours to discuss his journey from Lagos to a bewildered 11 year-old negotiating schooling here in a range of languages he couldn't yet speak and how music lifted him beyond the self-doubting and uncertainty sparked by being treated as an outsider. The chat ranges across everything from a mutual love of Elvis and Xtina Aguilera to Beyonce's move into house music, signing deals with different labels, his personal step by step philosophy ... and what he makes of his very first experience, live on the show, of death metal with a blast of past guests Desdemonia!
