Biography
Khamari approaches his material with a conversational vocal manner that readily shifts into expansive soulful crooning, lending his introspective and fatigued compositions a direct engagement with ordinary life. The Boston-raised singer, songwriter, and producer grew up in Dorchester and had already mastered piano, guitar, French horn, and violin before attending the Berklee College of Music. He departed the school in 2017 without completing his degree to focus on music professionally.
After posting several widely circulated covers, among them multiple Justin Bieber renditions, he issued his debut single “Jealous” in June 2020. The understated recording, built around a smooth and syncopated groove, originated as a home production before receiving finishing touches from Trackside, the team behind work for Selena Gomez and Ava Max. Its successor “That Girl,” a yearning track, surpassed one million streams by the October arrival of his first EP, Eldorado.
Khamari continued refining an atmospheric fusion of close-quarters bedroom production and ’70s soul on subsequent releases, among them the introspective “Doctor, My Eyes” in 2021 and the 2022 single “Drifting,” which merged contemporary bedroom R&B with classic soul textures. The sequence extended into 2023 with “Right My Wrongs,” built around a sample of Darondo’s plaintive early-’70s ballad “Didn’t I.”
