Born in South Florida and raised in Arizona, Karim has had a passion for music his whole life. He’s been performing human beatboxing and lyricism, and producing music, for over 20 years. He discovered his passion for teaching in 2005, when he began working with children and adults with developmental disabilities. In 2017 Karim began teaching at Booker Middle School’s afterschool program. His dynamic skills and ability to build confidence in students through his art forms led to him becoming a part time instructor at both Booker Middle and Booker Highschool,  for several years before changing directions. He now performs his music regularly around southwest Florida and is a teaching artist at a local private school in sarasota as well as doing residencies as a teaching artist at various schools in the Tampa Bay Area.
