From his early DJing escapades at school in Munich, Germany, Karim Morsy - the head of Algoriddim, the people behind the Apple-centric "djay" platform - must have felt he'd come a long way. But nothing could have prepared him for what happened next...
From his early DJing escapades at school in Munich, Germany, Karim Morsy - the head of DJ software company Algoriddim - has come a long way. He and his team built their company - home of the Apple-centric "djay" apps - into one of the most respected DJ software developers out there. But nothing could have prepared him for what happened next...
Despite not really understanding what Karim did for a living and wondering when he'd get a "real job", even Karim's parents finally had to admit that there might be something in what their son had chosen to do for a living... when he wandered out onto the stage on a globally televised Apple Keynote and began DJing on his iPad!
What did that feel like? Did he practise? Was he actually DJing up there, or playing safe and miming? And how, exactly, did he and his teenage friends start and grow a software company, on their own, that got to be one of the most loved platforms out there, especially for Apple users? Karim reveals all of this, and more, about his fascinating life, in this episode of Tales from the Dancefloor.
