Chronicles of Khan
Chronicles of Khan was created as a solo outlet for Khan to move away from his then underground band Universal Rogue. During the early days, his best friend Sean Walters supported Khan’s new endeavor & suggested adding more members which eventually turned Chronicles of Khan into a full-fledged rock band. The band name was taken from a 2010 fantasy film the night he decided to start the new music journey.
Formed in 2016, Chronicles of Khan released their first album in the form of an ep titled Legacies & Bequests in 2018. With a launch show at Virgin Megastore, the band gigged consistently across the UAE as well as performed at a major festival in Pakistan. The first single of the record was titled Jokers Ball, followed by a fan favorite track named Halo.
The band found itself amidst popularity in the UAE underground music scene and soon became one of Dubai’s best Original Rock & Roll bands. The attention soon led to the band performing at various festivals such as Middle East Film & Comic Con, Mother of Nation Festival Abu Dhabi, Beats on the Beach Abu Dhabi, and Dubai Drone Prix.
While recording their follow up record, the band was faced with a sudden hiatus in 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Since then, the members have parted ways with the future of the band coming to a uncertain halt.
