Soon after, he began to perform at trendy clubs and bars in Zurich (e.g. the Vior, Plaza, Hiltl and Hardone), and at festivals such as the Afro Fashion Festival and the Afro Summer Jam. Thanks to his involvement in various projects in the African community, Karter now travels all around Switzerland to bring his music to the people.
