Khalil
Khalil is an international DJ, Event Curator, Music Supervisor and Creative. He is a founding member of London’s seminal Hip Hop party Livin’ Proof that ran from 2007 to 2023, and New York’s prestigious BackToLife and Shapes parties, where his musical palette, creative direction and DJ style have proved pivotal in their success.
A musically diverse and exciting DJ, his approach has been heavily influenced by the multicultural fabric of London’s nightlife and creative industries. His sets weave through genres from Hip Hop to RnB and Soul, Dancehall to Afrobeats, and through variations of House and Dance music from the UK and around the world, playing between the lines of the expected and unexpected, new and old to create a distinct style and sound of his own.
Khalil recently worked as Music Supervisor on Daniel Kaluuya & Kibwe Tavares Netflix feature film The Kitchen (2024). Selecting tracks for scenes, adding insight from a nightlife perspective and creating concepts and ideas as part of the creative process to give the film it’s musical identity.
