Aaron Khaled: The multi-hyphenate entertainer to look out for

They have the looks and street cred. Beyond that, they’re multi-talented, having conquered the red carpet and taken ownership of social media. They act, host, sing, direct and produce. In this celebrities’ edition of 20 Good Men of 2020, Her World presents a talent-stacked list who are making their mark in Singapore, China, Taiwan and India.

He’s a multihyphenate
in the talent department. He’s an accomplished musician who plays the violin
and piano. He sings, and he’s comfortable in both TV and stage productions.

One could say that Aaron Khaled has come full circle after scoring his first lead role in a long-form television drama this year. “I’ve wanted to do something like this ever since I got a small role in Code of Law in 2012,” he says of his role as Louis Shelley in Kin, a drama that airs on Channel 5.

Next year, you can
catch Aaron in two new stage productions by Wild Rice Singapore, and the
Singapore Repertory Theatre.

Aaron says humility and perseverance got him this far. At one point, the 32-year-old was faced with a dilemma of wanting to try out TV acting, but his heavy theatre involvement made him doubt his ability to transition smoothly.

“Now I want to keep the momentum going. It’s important to keep a balance. Work is important, but so is your mental health,” he says.
