Mysterious but charismatic front man Khaliq was born in the West Midlands, he
remembers fondly the deep tenors of his father’s voice resonating songs of home
around their terraced house. Bedroom walls breathing Zeppelin, Free, Stones and
the Beatles. Khaliq attributes their styles to the beginning of his very unique
approach to music making.
Khaliq’s first demo opened the doors and his love for the Manchester music
scene, starting his friendship with Tony Wilson & Derek Ryder. Meeting and
becoming friends with the likes of Mani, Shaun & Paul Ryder, Bez and Bobby
Gillespie has been inspirational to me.
Khaliq has a unique wave of sound, western grit stems from a childhood of inner
cities married to a beautiful eastern soul of traditional storytelling and
rhythm. Khaliq are a band with a constant flow of musical waves, unique beats
and uplifting melodies accompanied by a never say die attitude.
Khaliq himself has been likened to Paul Weller/Nick Drake a comparison that
obviously delights and amazes him; they are after all, two of his heroes. When
the band really rock out ghosts of Hendrix/Pink Floyd can be heard, teen angst
is now exchanged for thunderstorm, relentlessness and the unrivalled
vulnerability only begot from stripping yourself naked. Khaliq's songs are songs
for everyone.
Khaliq recorded their debut album The Way of Zen at Dep International Studios
with Danny Sprigg, a whirlwind of sound that will blow your expectations of so
called meditation. All 14 tracks are available on iTunes.
The band have just finished recording their debut single 'SHINE ON' at The Magic
Garden Studios with top producer Gavin Monaghan(Twang/Editors). The single will
be released in the near future....
