Khalid Talks Mashmello Collaboration 'Silence'

(Radio.com) Khalid is having a breakout year on the strength of his hit single "Location." The 19-year-old artist recently dished on working with EDM artist and producer Marshmello's new cut 'Silence."

"That's a song that means so much to me," Khalid told 92.3 AMP Radio. "And it's one of my favorite songs I've ever written because it's so personal and it's about accepting loneliness and using that to your advantage and becoming creative and expressing yourself. You know, finding peace in violence."

"He's an amazing person so I'm so proud of everything that he's going through right now, Khalid said of Marshmello. "He's on top of the world and he's gonna continue killin' it."
