He has experience working in film and TV, as well as a long-standing passion for music production.

Karim was born in Istanbul, Turkey, but grew up in Guangzhou in the south of China. His early artistic passion was music, although later on he spent time exploring programming and urban planning before finally comitting to filmmaking.
