Meet the Team
Khalid Mahmoud - Owner of American Music Company
Khalid started music freshman year in high school picking up saxophone (even though he never played an instrument before) since he thought band class would be easy. While playing saxophone he was excelling pretty high and fast and his current band director then said “We don’t need anymore sax players. I need a trumpet player so here.”
Then as he picked up trumpet he fell in love with just the sound and being the loudest instrument of the band. Throughout his trumpet journey he played all through high school as well as college bands and then even picked up bass guitar to play in some classic rock bands! He currently plays in the Clovis Big Band, and the Fresno/Clovis Community bands.
“It’s been my lifelong dream to own my own business, and that combined with my love for music and community inspired me to always want a music store. While talking about my dream to open a music store the opportunity came up to buy American Music company and so I did…” - Khalid Mahmoud
