Khalid Daley is one of the recent stars of the West End hit musical ‘Hamilton’, playing the leading roles of John Laurens and Philip Hamilton from 2021-2022.
Recently he has had leads in two major theatre shows. In 2024 he played the leading role of Dennis in the reprisal of much-loved Ska musical 'The Big Life' at Theatre Royal Stratford East. And in 2023 he starred as one of the leads in 'Choir Boy' at the Bristol Old Vic, playing JR, a member of a legendary gospel choir at an elite American boys school, from Academy Award winning playwright Tarell Alvin McCraney. Choir Boy was nominated for Best Regional Production in the 2024 WhatsOnStage Awards.
Having trained at the Royal Birmingham Conservatoire, he has an impressive list of theatre credits which include ‘War Horse’ (UK and International Tour), ‘Beautiful: The Carole King Musical’ (UK & Ireland Tour) and ‘Dick Whittington’ (National Theatre) as well as playing the leading role of Clyde in ‘Careen - The True History of Bonnie and Clyde’ (Birmingham Repertory Theatre).
In 2024 he starred as WWI African American war hero William Henry Johnson in ‘The Great War’, a 2-part docu-drama for the History Channel.
He has been recognised by two of the UK’s top talent bursaries, including a nomination for the Carleton Hobbs Radio Bursary as well as winning a Laurence Olivier Bursary during his final year of training.
Originally from Birmingham, he speaks naturally with a Birmingham accent, but can easily neutralise. Currently based in London, he often speaks with a London/MLE accent. He is highly skilled at a general American accent following his roles in Hamilton and his upcoming role in The Great War. He has Caribbean heritage (born in Montserrat) so is also accomplished at speaking with a Caribbean/Jamaican accent.
