Lerado Khalil is a Texas native who lives in St. Paul, MN. Beginning his music career in 2016, he bounced between multiple names like heartbreak78, and eventually kept Lerado Khalil, which he sometimes shortens to Lerado. Lerado was a made-up name while Khalil is his actual middle name. Khalil’s first song that made him believe in where he was going was a song called ‘Wine Tears’, which got to 20k plays on SoundCloud while the rest of his discography remained in low attraction at the time. Khalil displays themes of dissonance and depression in his songs, while also explaining his attraction to things he endured in his childhood and the heartbreak throughout his life. Lerado currently has six projects out -- Shark Fin Soup, Mildly Happy, CDQ, ## UHH, Dog Days & Scenic Route, and two EPs, 78 Season and ## LOGUETOWN as his older projects/music in general have faced deletion over time.
