Congratulations to @thegreatkhalid, who has been placed at No. 4 in the #SoundOf2018 shortlist ?
Khalid had an incredible 2017, with his debut album being released, a VMA Award, touring with Lorde and much more – but this is just the beginning.
More ? https://t.co/oDcKTKKDPm pic.twitter.com/Os6s2bNHrk— BBC Music (@bbcmusic) January 9, 2018
