Kirim is a New Zealand based Hip-Hop/RnB artist.

Kirim's first exposure to the music industry was as guitarist and lead vocalist in Reggae/Dub trio 'Jomba', who wrote and recorded music from 2008 to 2010. In 2011, Kirim was adopted into emerging Kapiti Coast hip-hop crew 'The No Problemos' as as an MC. From 2011 to 2015, The No Problemos became local icons and nationally renown throughout New Zealand, securing funding from NZ on Air to publish their first professionally produced music video 'Move On', which debuted as music channel C4's 'Video of the Week'.

Now working on a breakaway project with renown New Zealand producer Tim Calkin, Kirim is developing his modern hip-hop/dancehall/RnB sound into something that bridges modern hip-hop with the roots sounds of his youth. 

Kirim is known for his dynamic and intimate live performances, which feature thoughtfully executed combinations of rap and soulful vocals laced with the flourishes of patois that he was previously known for in Jomba. In theme with Kirim's diverse range of vocal techniques, his vision is to inspire listeners to excel at all walks of life. As a professional environmental engineer and MC, his lyrics reflect the idea of balance between family, relationships and career.

With a prolific record and established presence amongst New Zealand fans and industry professionals alike, Kirim is set to take his newly refined sound global.
