Joseph Caram, aka King Carma is a songwriter from the South side of Chicago who started writing music at an early age. As Carma grew throughout the years, he became more and more enamored with the god-given talent that he had to tell stories, make words rhyme, and internally communicate through music, that he started recording as much as he could. As time passed, the writings piled up one by one, week by week. By the early age of 17, he had his first release with a major label by the name of Buygore Records. Owner, Asaf Borgore resonated so highly with a song him and another artist created, he decided to relase it via his record label. As we can sit here and go through many accomplishments that Carma has made, it would be remiss to say the music world was not in some way impacted by him. Fast forward to the present tense; Carma has traveled around the US writing, recording, and most importantly loving music. To hire Carma for your project is essentially hiring a professional songwriter who has 15+ years of experience and a drive to establish not just a hit record for you, but a whole new outlook on the music making process, songwriting process, and theory of how storytelling makes you an overall better writer. For whatever project idea you have in mind musically, Carma has a means of execution for you.
