Harnessing a distinct brand of artistry that knows no categorical bounds, the DJ, producer and record label head has cemented herself as one of the music industry’s most in-demand names at nothing short of breakneck speed. Her signature sonic approach masterfully blends genres with a visceral energy that commands attention, the ardent catalyst in her meteoric rise from Belgium’s underground to global phenomenon status.

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.

Raised on the South Side of Chicago, Vic rose to public awareness as a member of the eclectic hip-hop band Kids These Days and founder of the Chicago collective SAVEMONEY alongside Chance The Rapper and other local upstarts Joey Purp and Peter CottonTale. His solo debut mixtape INNANETAPE dropped in 2013, igniting immediate accolades (including a spot on the XXL Freshman cover in 2014), and a fortuitous introduction to Jay Z that led to a record deal with Roc Nation. Mensa went on to help Kanye West pen his esoteric song “Wolves” from The Life of Pablo, drop three critically acclaimed EPs (2016’s There’s A Lot Going On, 2018’s Hooligans, and 2020’s V TAPE) and his debut full length The Autobiography (2017), as well as furthering social causes in his hometown through his nonprofit SAVEMONEYSAVELIFE. In both music and his social activism, Vic challenges the American system responsible for a history of overcriminalization, racial injustice, and issues that affect the lives of people in underserved communities, while showcasing profound levels of consciousness and self-reflection.
