​

 Born Kēvin Phillips, on a farm in the small Mississippi town of Holly Springs,  spending his formative  years being reared by hardworking Great-Grandparents, he  developed a diligent work ethic. After his  single mother, went north to Illinois’ 2nd  city Aurora, with her two sons, he started school and spend his  evenings with four  older female cousins. Acting as babysitters, these teenage ladies, being music  lovers,  established the foundation for young Kēvin to build on. In 1990, Phillips, now  21 years old calling himself  K-ottic K, would start Khaaliq Productions, with Gary Cooper, Xavier Lamont

 and Khalifah Shabazz. With all members being Disc Jockeys, the HipHop

 production team, would promote parties to purchase production gear and enjoy

 local success. As a natural progression, the group added  homegrown rappers to

 the roster, with the intent to release records from these  artists. Having Jam

 Master Jay as his major influence, this new lineup put K right  where he dreamed

 of, on stage behind MCs, as a show DJ.  

 

​

 After the Khaaliq Productions dismantled in the early 2000s, plus a name

 change,  Keevin Muhammad found himself spinning nightclub gigs, producing

 mixtapes and  promoting events, all unaccompanied. Following years of

 contemplating, and having  come up with the  name for the company, he

 rebranded  himself as DJ KHAALIQ!! By 2007, those years as a mobile DJ,

 touring DJ, composing music, party promoting  and sound engineering, would

 all contribute to the upsurge in this amazing career.    Khaaliq has release over

 twenty compilation albums, open shows for the likes of  Run DMC, Jay Z, Luke,

 Common and Master P, provided sounds for Fabolous,  Redman, R Kelly, Dem

 Franchise Boys and Method Man after-parties. The cities of  LA, New York,

 Miami, ATL, DC and Vegas have all tasted his flavor of song  programing.

 Chicago’s WGCI, Power92,  Jackson’s BDAY, Dekalb’s WNIU radio  stations,

 along with the countries of South Africa, Singapore and  Germany are all  ear

 witnesses to these award winning music mixes. Now, owner of Khaaliq Media,
