Kerim König studied cultural studies and aesthetic practice with a focus on music and media at the University of Hildesheim. During his studies, he composed his first film scores for short and animated films and deepened his knowledge in international master classes.

After moving to Berlin, König received his first commissions for film and TV productions. He has been working with composer Christian Biegai since 2019. In 2022, they were both nominated by the German Academy for Television in the music category for their music for Tatort: Propheteus. In 2024, they jointly took on a teaching position in film music at the Berlin University of the Arts.

In addition to his work for film and television, König pursues his own artistic projects. He releases solo albums on the Cologne label Hey!blau Records, in which he explores compositional concepts that are independent of images. He has collaborated with the Japanese pianist Mayuko Miyata, the ensembles Scoring Berlin and Oriel Quartett and the New Zealand singer Teresa Bergman, among others.
