Khalid Abdulrahman
Khalid Abdulrahman (Arabic: خالد عبدالرحمن; born April 22, 1965) is a Saudi singer, musician, poet, and songwriter.[1][2][3] He first published poetry under the pseudonym "Mukhawe Al Layl" (مخاوي الليل) which roughly translates to 'Night Dweller' before revealing his true identity. He regarded the night as his close friend because he used to stay up late writing poems in the night silence. Though Khalid didn't want to be famous for his singing as he wanted to be for his poetry and retired for a month, but peers and fellow artist urged him to take up singing again.
