    Khalil Amir Sharieff (born November 22, 1994), known by the stage name Khalil, is an American R&B singer, songwriter, and rapper from Sacramento, California.

    In 2008, he worked under the auspices of L.A. Reid to record some material in Florida after being discovered on YouTube. He was signed the same year to Def Jam Recordings, on the Teen Island label that was part of the music industry's response to "[s]eiz[e] on the opportunities created by a phenomenon" of Justin Bieber, and rather than focus on hit single, his manager was working to "developing him into a long-term artist." While signed with Def Jam, he recorded a few singles, but did not release an album.

    The 2010 track "Girlfriend Ringtone" spent 13 weeks on Billboard's "Bubbling Under" chart but did not break onto the main Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart.

    Khalil is featured on all of his songs on Lil Twist's mixtape The Golden Child hosted by DJ Ill Will. These are "Wait On Me", "If You Only Knew" and "#1812" the latter a co-featured artist with Lil Za.
