Former Liverpool goalkeeper Loris Karius, once thrust into the spotlight during the 2018 Champions League final against Real Madrid, is now considering a striking career shift.
The 31-year-old, who has been a free agent since parting ways with Newcastle United last summer, is looking to transition into the world of professional DJing.
Karius became infamous for his costly errors in Liverpool’s 3-1 defeat to Real Madrid, a match that effectively ended his Anfield career. It was later revealed he had suffered a concussion during the game, potentially affecting his performance.
Despite his subsequent struggles on the field, Karius has embraced his passion for music, cultivating his DJing skills over the past five years and finding joy in producing and performing.
Speaking about his new venture, Karius shared, “When you’re training and playing every day, hobbies like DJing take a back seat. Now I want to take it to the next level—producing music and performing at events.”
While he doesn’t plan to perform regularly, Karius hopes to win over skeptics with his dedication and talent. “Once they hear my music, they’ll realize I’ve got some knowledge,” he added, comparing the emotions of saving a shot to playing a crowd-pleasing track.
Karius’ journey from football to music highlights his desire to channel his energy into a new passion, seeking to create emotional connections through sound as he once did on the pitch.
