Kareem L. Thompson Sr. was born and raised in Chester, PA. He grew up playing in church and began touring the world at the age of 17. His appetite for different styles of music has afforded him the opportunity to accompany a plethora of artists in gospel, hip hop, jazz, fusion, and country. Kareem stamped his pasport with places like Africa and Isreal, just to name a few. Touring has also landed him in every state, nationwide. Some of his influences are Travis Barker, Jason Coleman, Bobby Z, Stokely Williams, Ernie Saunders, and Dave Weckl.

He has worked with Struggle Jennings, Dave Hollister, Doobie Powell, Wordsmith, I4NI, Brianna Harness, Caitlynne Curtis, Blind Fury, Savannah Dexter, Jhonni Blaze, Amanda Seales, Ernie Saunders, Joshua Rogers, Twinkie Clark, Wilmington Chester Mass Choir, Smokie Norful, Zak Williams & 1/Akord, and many more.

His current endorsements are with Mapex Drums, Saluda Cymbals, Innovative Percussion Drum Sticks, and Se Electric Mics.

Thompson has plans of not only continuing to tour the world, but venture into different aspects of the industry with merch, his life story, and more. When asked what he'd like to be known for, he answered humbly, "being a man of integrity and building a legacy for my children."
