Khaled height - How tall is Khaled?

He was awarded Moroccan citizenship in August 2013, which he didn't ask for but accepted because he felt he could not refuse.

In 2010 he performed Didi at the opening ceremony of the 2010 FIFA World Cup in South Africa, making him one of the best selling Arabic language artists in history.

In early 2000, 1,2,3 Soleils, a trio recording also featuring Rachid Taha and Faudel, was released.

In 1998, the documentary "Khaled: Derrière le sourire" was produced, recounting his life.

1996 saw the release of Sahra, and three years later King of Rai appeared.

His first domestic work was a 1993 self-titled album. N'ssi N'ssi appeared the following year.

In 1992, having dropped the "Cheb" from his performance name, he recorded Khaled, which was produced by Don Was. The album's first single Didi, which was a major hit in Europe, the Arab World, and in South and East Asia, made him an international superstar.

He moved to France in 1986 and released Kutche, his debut album.

At the age of 14, he founded the Cinq Étoiles (Five Stars) band and started performing in nightclubs and at weddings. In the 1980s, Khaled started producing and singing songs in the Raï genre.

Born in Algeria but now based in France, Khaled is known as the king of rai. He was born Khaled Hadj Brahim in 1960 in Sidi-El-Houri. Along with Egyptian, Spanish and French music influences, Khaled also listened to the Beatles and James Brown as a child. After learning to sing and play accordion, he left school at age 16 to record his first single. With a blend of funk, reggae and Arabic music, Khaled soon pioneered the transformation of rai from a local style to worldwide popularity by adding a synthesizer and drum machine.
