Hakeem Khaaliq (Also Hakeem Abdul-Khaaliq) is an Award winning American cinematographer, television producer, film director, photographer, multi-media activist, graphic design artist, and Visual anthropologist. Before his career in film and television Hakeem worked as a music producer, music publisher, music supervisor and radio personality. In 1995 Hakeem founded Radio Bums® and in 2010 Khaaliq co-founded Nation19 Magazine / APDTA with longtime partner Queen Muhammad Ali.

Khaaliq was born and raised in South Central, Los Angeles, CA. His father was a stuntman with work featured in the film “The Spook Who Sat By The Door." Khaaliq is also the great nephew to prominent photographer Addison N. Scurlock. Hakeem credits longtime family friend Howard Bingham, and his mentor Jamel Shabazz as his greatest influences in photography. Early in his career, Hakeem began directing and producing documentary films (the first film he directed starred Snoop Dogg and Sean Puffy Combs), but his passion for social change and activism led him to direct and produce films focusing on pressing global issues.

Michael Jackson commissioned Khaaliq and his partner Queen Muhammad Ali to design a cover for his "This Is It" London tour. The work included the design of The Earth Song website, design of MichaelJacksonCO.com website, print campaigns and the design of The Earth Song Logo.
