The pair first gained recognition from their covers of popular Hip-Hop and Pop songs posted on YouTube. After offers from various record companies, the duo signed with Sony and Epic Records in June 2011.
Karmin is a collision of Nick’s Classic Rock upbringing and Jazz education (a trained trombonist) and Amy’s R&B influence and Pop background. Together they found music at its simplest form, percussion and voice.
In 2017, the duo took a break on Karmin to focus on another project known as "Qveen Herby".

Karmin Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm gonna get it
And I'm just sayin'
I'm just sayin'
Oh if I want it
I'm gonna get it
And I'm just sayin'
Future in my hands
Gotta make it count
Convince yourself it's feasible
Then there's nothin' else
Sick addiction
Dangerous mind
Put it on command'
Error: undefined
Even when you got a shadow of a doubt
Even when a hundred people tell you it's a wipeout
You gotta do it big
You gotta do it strong
At the end of the day
You're the one who's in the wrong
Regrettin' and forgettin' everything you worked for
Instead a trend settin' and bettin'
It's so upsettin' I'm sweatin now
And I can't bellive it
It should be so easy
Oh
Already got a knack
Just dial it back
The window's open and the world is yours
Go attack
Cause when the wind is right and the tide is high
Then it's time to fly
Oh if I want it
I'm gonna get it
And I'm just sayin'
I'm just sayin'
Oh if I want it

Me in the marathon, uh
One in the front
Now you're makin' plans
Don't let them screw it up
Better write
Your name on it
Paper cut
Most people afraid of hearing no
Got booed off stage once apollo
I can do anything
That I wanna do
And I'll take that
Cause it's not for you
Took a few years to surface
But now it's so bizurkus
And I'm ring leadin'
In this circus
I'm just sayin'
I'm just layin' and pavin' the road
Ahead of me
Breavin' the elements and watchin' it
Cave in
My heart is racin' and palpitatin'
I'm so done
Anticipatin'
It's all good
Yeah made up
Up my mind
Threadin'
The needle
It's part of
The design
Oh if I want it

And if we look at life
Imma tell you what
