Chris Craker is a luminary in the music industry, boasting over 40 years of diverse experience as an artist, record producer and composer, as well as being the visionary behind Karma Studios. Situated in an idyllic Southeast Asian location, Karma Studios is a creative oasis for artists and producers that now benefits from the timeless fusion of its original Genelec 1035B main monitors and new ‘The Ones’ coaxial nearfield models.

Craker's journey to establish Karma Studios in Thailand is a testament to his passion for creating a unique and inspiring space for artists. The motivation came unexpectedly when he was invited to produce records for His Majesty the King of Thailand, resulting in 11 albums of the King's compositions. This opportunity ignited the vision of creating a haven for creativity in the heart of Thailand. Craker explains, "How amazing would it be to have a beautiful studio in a beautiful location? I could then entice my favourite artists to come and work with me at a studio by the beach, so that's exactly what we did!"
