A Renaissance Man

Music may be what KI does but it is far from what defines him. Khalil is a husband, father and community servant. He spends much of his time strategizing and working to better serve black marginalized populations in Baltimore city. He served as a house manager and resident counselor for 5 years at a women’s homeless shelter and currently mentors inner city youth, teaching them how to tell their story using media.  He has lectured at major universities such as Princeton, Johns Hopkins, and Cornell on various social topics particularly pertaining to race and justice. His dedication to the betterment of humanity is actually what fuels his creative work. In 2023, KI launched a unique creative life coaching initiative named “KI LIVING”.
