Khaliq’s musical beginnings commenced with his initial meeting with legendary producer Gavin Monaghan of Magic Garden Recording Studio; leading to a deal with the iconic Tony Wilson of Factory Too Records and the joining in forces of Derek Ryder (Happy Mondays’ Management) and Coe Khaliq.Following the signing of his record deal in 1996, debut album ‘Asian Man’ was created; produced by Ged Lynch and Martin Slattery of Black grape.
