Khaled Rohaim is an Egyptian producer, composer, and songwriter based in Sydney, Australia. He has composed songs for artists such as Rihanna, The Kid Laroi, and Ariana Grande.

Early life Rohaim has been making music since he was four years old, experimenting with instruments around his family home. His father was a keyboard player for Egyptian guitarist Omar Khorshid.

Career

In 2012, Rohaim signed a publishing deal with J Remy and Bobby Bass of Orange Factory Music in partnership with Primary Wave and BMG.

From 2014 to 2020, Rohaim was part of the production team Twice as Nice, founded by Nicholas "Unknown Nick" Audino and Lewis Hughes. Through Audino, Khaled co-produced songs for artists such as Ty Dolla Sign, Kid Ink, Ariana Grande, and Meghan Trainor, among others.

Rohaim honed his skills creating multi-platinum hits for Australian Sony artists such as Jessica Mauboy and Justice Crew. In 2018, he co-wrote the song "Let Me" by Zayn.

In 2021, Rohaim, Audino, Hughes, and Te Whiti Warbrick from Twice as Nice were added to APRA AMCOS's 1 Billion List for their work on Rihanna's 2016 track "Needed Me".

Rohaim met The Kid Laroi, whose real name is Charlton Howard, at a recording studio in Sydney when Howard was 12 years old. Moved by Howard's talent and difficult living situation, Rohaim became Howard's mentor and collaborator. They would drive together to record at Rohaim's rented studio in North Strathfield and write songs for other artists.

Rohaim has been considering moving to the United States as he continues his work with Howard and other high-profile artists, such as Demi Lovato and Justin Bieber. "I think I'd do better if I was overseas. Being here has been hard, really hard. What I've been able to do from here, it's near impossible", he told The Sydney Morning Herald in 2021.
