Khaled Mohammed Khaled (born November 26, 1975), known professionally as DJ Khaled, is an American DJ, record executive, and record producer.
Khaled first gained prominence as a radio host in the 1990s on the radio station 99 Jamz, and translated his popularity by working with Terror Squad as a DJ for their live performances.
After gaining production credits on the group’s material, Khaled released his debut studio album Listennn… the Album in 2006, which earned gold certification.
He followed it with We the Best (2007), which contained the top 20 single “I’m So Hood“.
His subsequent two releases — We Global (2008) and Victory (2010) — were released after he founded the record label We the Best Music Group.
His fifth studio album We the Best Forever (2011) also saw similar commercial success and helped bring Khaled to international prominence, as it featured the song “I’m on One”, which was his first top ten hits.
