Karim El Alaoui, who is a Swedish born Moroccian, started writing music back in 1990 at the age of 14. He joined different bands as musician and songwriter. The neverending energy for music made him want to help other people as well, and the love for hiphop got him producing local rappers at the age of 18. Only three years later he produced and wrote music for the first albumrelease, "Garagerock". In order to gain more control over the technical work in the studio, he joined the international college of audio engineering. During his studies at SAE , he was able to use most of his studiotime to write and record even more songs. The songs he wrote at this time made the larger companies open their ears, but decided to make a publishing deal with Misty Music in 1999, and was by this time well known around in the independent circuits. He released three albums "A real ideal", "1999" and "Från botten till toppen" along with his first single "Kalla fakta 1999". Followed up with productions featured on the compilations "Alla talar fortfarande svenska" and "Diggin in the swedish underground". The love for underground music became a struggle, and in the year 2000 he started the label HiLife Productions. HiLife Productions released the four track EP "Lil'Tom - 1 sån där EP" and the album "Highlife - Dolt under ytan", along with features on compilations such as "Jakten på under-orden 1", "Dj Eriktion Mixtape", "Jakten på under-orden 3" & "Dj Silence mixtape". After producing material for 13 records, he took an inspirational break from working with music from 2002 but is now back with Highlife Music ..
