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.^[3]

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.^[10]
