Antonio Khari

Born and raised in Gary,IN with mother, while also raised on the West Side of Chicago with father, Antonio Khari is CEO and signed artist to Chicago-based independent label and entertainment company, 88 Keys Entertainment, LLC (started with Co-Partner and label-mate B. Nicole J). Born into a musical family of singers and musicians, he always had a undying passion for Music &Arts. Like most, he started in church choir, but got his start of stage and performance life touring with gospel-acapella group REVIVED, which was founded and managed by recording-artist and Aunt, Michele Glass-Williamson. By the age of 14, he had already sang alongside Clay Aiken (with Proviso West Concert Choir, directed by Salina Watson) for his 2005 ‘Joyful Noise’ Tour. Under the direction of Salina Watson, he moved on to sing various competitions such as IMSA, Music of The Parks, etc.). He embarked a long journey into background vocals, beats-production, modeling and song-writing for other various artists and after high demand, Antonio soon began on his solo journey and released a variety of singles and Playlists on SoundCloud, before he released the critically-acclaimed Hip-Hop/R&B themed KING ME ep, later released on all major networks independently through 88 Keys Entertainment. After picking up fast-moving traction, featuring on a few playlists including SoundCloud’s The Upload and Spotify’s New Release (which includes music from the most recent drop of KING ME:Two Below) , KING ME has been the most streamed to date! With leading tracks like STEP: a groovy banger of Soul-capped hardcore rhymes, MAC ATTACK: a soothing R&B ballad giving ode to the inner Savage, RUN iT: 90’s-Infused and The Pharcyde-Influenced track paying homage to the hardworker and hustler in you! Or the raw, raunchy, hard-edged punch lines of $2BILL. Following the momentum of the KING ME project, the lastest releases: The Greatest and Thriller, kicked off 2021 with Another One (featuring Nicole J) following thereafter with the debut album expected to drop later this year.
