*“Location” singer Khalid has signed with performing rights organization BMI, the company announced Tuesday.

The R&B newcomer and fresh Grammy nominee is among 2017’s breakout acts, having recently performed on the American Music Awards, where he put in work with Imagine Dragons in one of the ceremony’s more memorable moments.

“In a very short time, Khalid has taken the world by storm with his wide-ranging talent,” said Mike Steinberg, EVP Creative & Licensing, BMI. “His music resonates deeply with fans of all ages, and we are honored that he chose BMI to support him in his continued growth as a songwriter and an artist.”

This morning, Khalid scored five Grammy Award nominations, including Best Urban Contemporary Album for “American Teen,” released in March.

Other collaborations include Khalid’s appearance as a songwriter and performer on such hits as “1-800-837-8255” (with Logic and Alessia Cara), “Silence” (with Marshmello), “Rollin’” (with Future and Calvin Harris), and “Homemade Dynamite” (with Post Malone, Sza and Lorde).

BMI represents some 800,000 songwriters including Taylor Swift, Rihanna, Ed Sheeran, Charlie Puth, Julia Michaels, and Halsey.
