His performances include poems by Sheikh Zayed Bin Sultan Al Nahyan, Mohammed Bin Suqat, Kamish Bin Noman, Abdullah Bin Dhiban, Ali bin Rahma al-Shamsi, and many more. He also recreates traditional UAE songs in his own unique way. Khalid is a master of the Oud, researcher of poetry and song, both old and modern. His participation in festivals and celebrations in the UAE and abroad are testament to his talent.
