Khaled first gained limelight in the 1990s as a Jockey on Miami’s 99 Jamz hip-hop radio program. The reason the band Terror Squad chose Khaled as their Disc jockey was because of his work on the radio.

Following the release of “We The Best” in 2007, “We Global” in 2008, “Victory” in 2010, “We the Best Forever” in 2011, “Kiss the Ring” in 2012, “Suffering from Success” in 2013, “I Changed A Lot” in 2015, “Major Key” in 2016, “Grateful” in 2017, and “Father of Asahd” in 2019.

The Keys, a book written by Khaled, debuted on the New York Times Best Sellers list.  In the publication, he talks about the efforts and works an artist had to go through for success. He also shares personal anecdotes and provides success tips.
