Khaled Rohaim

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Khaled Rohaim is a multi-platinum, Grammy nominated producer and composer. Based in Sydney, Australia, Rohaim has created hits for artists such as Rihanna, The Kid Laroi and Ariana Grande.[1][2][3]

Early life[]

Rohaim has been making music since he was four years old when he would experiment with instruments around his family home.[1] His father was a keyboard player for Egyptian guitarist Omar Khorshid.[1]

Career[]

In 2011, Rohaim formed Twice as Nice, alongside Sickdrumz, Nick Audino and Lewis Hughes.[2] They formed a relationship with US hitmaker DJ Mustard.[1] In 2016, Twice as Nice were nominated for a Grammy Award for their writing and producing work on Ariana Grande's track "Be Alright".[4]

In 2012, Rohaim signed a publishing deal with J-Remy and Bobby Bass of Orange Factory Music in partnership with Primary Wave and BMG.[citation needed]

Rohaim honed his skills creating multi-platinum hits for Australian Sony artists such as Jessica Mauboy and Justice Crew.[1] In 2018, he co-wrote the song "Let Me" by Zayn.

In 2021, he and from Twice as Nice, were added to the APRA AMCOS' 1 Billion List for their work on Rihanna's 2016 track "Needed Me".[2][1]

Rohaim became a mentor and producer for The Kid Laroi when he met him at a recording studio in Sydney.[3] Moved by The Kid Laroi's talent and difficult living situation, Rohaim would pick him up from various houses that he would live in around Sydney so they could eat together and record at his rented studio in North Strathfield.[3] Rohaim gave The Kid Laroi some work writing songs for other artists to help him develop.[5]

Moving to the United States is on the cards for Rohaim as he continues his work with The Kid Laroi and other high-profile artists such as Demi Lovato and Justin Bieber.[1] "I think I'd do better if I was overseas. Being here has been hard, really hard. What I've been able to do from here, it's near impossible", he told The Sydney Morning Herald in 2021.[1]
