Kenny G
Soprano saxophonist and composer Kenneth Bruce Gorelick, best known as Kenny G, is widely considered the best-selling instrumental musician of the modern era, having pioneered the “Lights Out” smooth jazz genre. His breakthrough came in 1986 with the release of his fourth album, Duotones, which included the massive radio-friendly hit “Songbird,” a global smash that peaked at number four on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. He has gone on to sell over 75 million records worldwide, including the best-selling instrumental album of all time with his 1992 full-length Breathless. His track “Going Home” is famously heard in public places, schools, and businesses across China as an official closing-time anthem. In addition, he has also recorded and performed with everyone from Frank Sinatra and Andrea Bocelli to Aretha Franklin, Smokey Robinson, Michael Bolton, Richard Marx, Kanye West, and The Weeknd. His most recent album Lullabies includes classic children’s songs like “Rock-a-Bye Baby” and soundtrack music such as “Over the Rainbow,” along with original tracks, all backed by orchestral arrangements.

Khalid
Pop R&B and soul singer-songwriter Khalid Donnel Robinson, professionally known as Kahlid, first earned mainstream success in 2016 with his diamond-certified debut single “Location,” followed by 2017’s hit single “Young, Dumb & Broke.” His debut album American Teen (2017) and its follow-up Free Spirit (2019) established his genre-blending R&B and pop style, earning him multiple awards, as well as seven Grammy nominations, including Record of the Year and Best New Artist. His most recent studio album was released last October, After the Sun Goes Down. In addition, he has collaborated with artists like Logic, Billie Eilish, Halsey, Marshmello, Normani, Shawn Mendes, Lorde, and Ed Sheeran. Recent collabs include “We Go Down Together” with Dove Cameron, “Otra Noche Sin Ti” with J. Balvin, and a May single for “Something Special” featuring South Korean actor and singer Ahn Hyo-seop. Khalid also appears on a new single from Lauv, “Tied Up,” with Lauv also set to open this SDSU stop on Khalid’s It’s Always Summer Somewhere Tour.
