Boston-born singer/songwriter Khamari shares the story behind one of the most meaningful instruments in his creative journey: his acoustic Taylor guitar.
For Khamari, the guitar symbolizes more than just an acoustic instrument. It is a space for honesty and vulnerability, helping him to express emotions he might not otherwise say out loud. Reflecting on the intimacy that comes with playing and writing on a guitar, he explains that simply holding the instrument brings out personal thoughts and feelings, making it an instrument he hopes to play for the rest of his life.
A fast-rising artist, singer/songwriter, and producer, Khamari has quickly become a leading voice in today's R&B scene. Known for his thoughtful blend of R&B and introspective songwriting, he brings a uniquely personal perspective to his music, turning niche experiences and emotions into songs that feel both highly specific yet relatable. That ability to turn something individual into a universal feeling is at the core of Khamari's music, and his guitar is the tool that helps him do it. His latest single "To Want Someone Badly," released June 2026, gives listeners another close look into the ideas and feelings that direct his music.
It Goes To 11 is an exclusive interview series where artists and musicians explain their deep connection to their favorite gear.
