Khalia grew up in Westmoreland, Jamaica (A deep rural countryside) until 6 years old, when she migrated to London with her mother. She spent the most part of her life there while visiting her family in Jamaica every year. Music was always a passion and Khalia started recording music at the age of 15, starting of with R&B, music which Khalia grew up listening to along with dancehall and reggae. However, knowing in her heart that she wanted to make reggae and dancehall music, Khalia began to search for producers and DJ's to work with in the genre.
In 2016 Khalia met Shaggy and sent him some of her music she had recorded. After listening, he was impressed with her talent told her he knew the perfect producer to bring her sound to the next level.
Once Tony Kelly and Khalia met at his studio in Kingston Jamaica, they recorded a demo the same day and have been working together ever since.
