He got his spray cans from Downstairs , a trendy shop owned by Halil, one of the founders of Aggro Berlin . The releases of the independent label shaped him musically. Above all the tapes from Alles ist die Sekt and the albums Vom Bordstein bis zum Skyline von Bushido and Maske von Sidohe names inspirations. Since he had neither contacts to producers nor recording opportunities, Khrome initially saw rap as a hobby that he pursued in everyday life, for example in the form of freestyles .

In 2017, Khrome began recording herself and sharing the videos on Instagram . The rapper Kool Savas became aware of him this way. After the music distributor iGroove announced in early 2020 that Savas would be working in the position of A&R for the Swiss company, he introduced Khrome as his first artist in March.
