Although less frequently requested, the following might be considered, also.
- A non-performance personal appearance.
An example would be to hire a celebrity to attend a private or corporate party as simply a (non-performing) guest to mingle with other guests, or to hire the celebrity to do a meet-and-greet at your party.
- A virtual performance.
A virtual performance is a live or recorded show—such as a concert, play, dance, comedy act, or other artistic presentation—that is broadcast or streamed online instead of being performed in front of a physical audience. Artists perform live from a studio, venue, or even their homes and stream the show on platforms like YouTube, Twitch, or Instagram Live. Essentially, a virtual performance brings entertainment to audiences through the internet rather than in-person venues.

Hire Khalid
aka: Khalid Donnel Robinson
Khalid Donnel Robinson (born February 11, 1998), known mononymously as Khalid, is an American singer and songwriter.
Shortly after graduating from Americas High School, Khalid reached number two on the Billboard Twitter Emerging Artists chart in July 2016. His single “Location” began charting, which led to his being featured in many publications, including Billboard, Yahoo!, BuzzFeed, and Rolling Stone.
He rose to fame following the release of his debut studio album, American Teen, (2017), which was certified 4× platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA). The album spawned the Billboard Hot 100 top twenty singles, “Location” and “Young Dumb & Broke”, with the former receiving diamond certification by the RIAA.

He sold out every venue on his 21-city January–February 2017 Location Tour, including the 1,500-capacity Tricky Falls in El Paso. Following the completion of the tour, his debut studio album, American Teen, was released on March 3, 2017. The album received critical acclaim and Grammy Award nominations for Best Urban Contemporary Album and Best R&B Song (for “Location”), at the 2018 ceremony. On October 24, 2017, the album was certified platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) for selling more than 1,000,000 in combined pure sales and album-equivalent units.
Also, in 2017, Khalid won a VMA Award for Best New Artist.
In 2017, he collaborated with Lorde, SZA, and Post Malone on Lorde‘s “Homemade Dynamite” remix. He released a duet with singer, Normani, called “Love Lies”, recorded for the Love, Simon film soundtrack, which reached the top ten of the Billboard Hot 100 in 2018. “Love Lies” was each artist’s first number one on the US Pop Songs chart and finished in the top 20 of the 2018 Billboard Hot 100 Year-End chart.
Khalid‘s song, “The Ways”, with rapper Swae Lee was featured in the Marvel film, Black Panther. As of February 23, 2018, the song peaked at number 63 on the Billboard Hot 100.
He collaborated with Billie Eilish on the song, “Lovely”, which was sampled multiple times on Goodbye & Good Riddance, the debut album of rapper Juice Wrld. It was also played on the popular Netflix series, 13 Reasons Why in Season 2 Episode 13. In July 2018, he was featured alongside Halsey on Benny Blanco‘s debut single “Eastside”. The song charted in the Billboard Hot 100’s top ten and reached number one on the US Pop Songs chart, after a record 30-week climb.
Khalid‘s music is primarily R&B, hip-hop, pop and pop-soul. He sings in both the baritone and tenor ranges, effectively rendering him a baritenor. Khalid possesses a two and a half octave vocal range, ranging from the low F2 to the middle B♭4. Khalid has cited Kendrick Lamar, A$AP Rocky, Father John Misty, Frank Ocean, Grizzly Bear, Chance the Rapper, Lorde, India.Arie, and James Blake as other influences.
Khalid has received numerous accolades, including six Grammy Award nominations, six Billboard Music Awards, three American Music Awards and a MTV Video Music Award. In 2019, Khalid was named one of TIME magazine’s 100 Most Influential People.

How is the fee of Khalid determined?
✅ Khalid fee determination
Khalid’s manager determines the artist’s concert fee (also known as a guarantee) by evaluating a combination of business, market, and logistical factors.
Here’s a breakdown of key elements considered:
1. Khalid’s Popularity and Demand
-
Ticket Sales History: How many tickets they’ve sold recently in the same market or similar ones.
-
Streaming & Radio Metrics: Spotify/Apple Music numbers, YouTube views, Shazam stats, radio spins.
-
Social Media Following & Engagement: Followers, reach, and how active and loyal the fan base is.
2. Market Strength
-
City or Region: Artists can command higher fees in cities where they are more popular.
-
Venue Size: Bigger venues mean more ticket sales and higher potential revenue.
-
Local Competition: Is the artist competing with other events nearby on the same date?
3. Khalid Touring Expenses
-
Band & Crew Payroll: Salaries, per diems, union rates.
-
Production Costs: Lights, sound, transportation, backline, hotel, security, etc.
-
Travel: Flights, buses, fuel, lodging. Fees are often higher for more distant or logistically complex locations.
4. Type of Event
-
Hard Ticket Show: The artist is the main draw; ticket sales drive revenue. The fee is based on expected gross revenue minus expenses.
-
Festival or Fair: Often pay higher flat fees as the event assumes ticket risk.
-
Corporate or Private Event: Typically, higher pricing due to exclusivity and often minimal promotional benefit.
5. Promoter Offer and Negotiation
-
The manager evaluates received offers and may negotiate elements to modify the fee or reduce expenses.
-
Promoters/Private Buyers typically present a formal offer sheet that includes:
-
Guarantee (flat fee): Minimum the artist gets paid.
-
Backend or Bonus: Extra earnings based on ticket sales after breakeven. (Typically, this is not applicable to private/corporate events.)
-
Expenses: Travel, accommodations, hospitality, etc.
6. Comparing Fees
-
Managers often compare fees of similar-level artists to stay competitive in pricing.
7. Khalid Routing Considerations
-
If the date fits smoothly into a larger tour routing, they might accept a lower fee.
-
If it’s a one-off or out-of-the-way show, the fee might be higher to justify the extra time and effort.
