Today we’d like to introduce you to Khalid Abdul-Rahim
Hi Khalid, it’s an honor to have you on the platform. Thanks for taking the time to share your story with us – to start maybe you can share some of your backstory with our readers?
I am a music producer, song writer, performer, studio engineer, and personal fitness coach. My musical professional name I go by is Vibe-One.
I have been performing and releasing music since the 90s as a solo artist and with my group The Watusi Tribe based out of Cincinnati Ohio. We’ve won awards, been on morning news 19 fox in the morning, first local Hip-Hop artists to receive regular rotation on kiss fm.
2 time recipients of the Cincinnati music awards best Hip-Hop. Recently featured in the main library in downtown Cincinnati for our contribution to music culture in the city and the state. My love for fitness lead me to helping others who wanted to lose weight get stronger and healthier. I’ve been training people for the last 5years.
We all face challenges, but looking back would you describe it as a relatively smooth road?
It’s been a consistent journey but not easy. Becoming a father in my early 20s meant I had to sacrifice leaving to bigger cities to advance my career if there wasn’t guaranteed benefits in me doing so which meant although I’ve had a lot of success in my work I couldn’t just take any chance at doing things that might be considered big risks.
Alright, so let’s switch gears a bit and talk business. What should we know about your work?
I am an artist, Hip-Hop and R&B are my specialty. I’m known as Vibe-One an emcee/producer. I have been looked at as a vet, an O.G. and Cincinnati legend (other people’s words not mine) I’ve released many albums over the last 25 plus years. I’ve been personal fitness training people for the last 5 years which has also brought me peace and joy being able to help people better themselves when it comes to exercise and health. I’ve also enjoyed doing events and speaking to the youth in my area. Educating them on music and telling them to work hard to achieve their goals.
What quality or characteristic do you feel is most important to your success?
Passion, patience, perseverance.
