Stefan Koim was born in 1986 in Hamm, Germany. He studied at the Koblenz International Guitar Academy from 2004 to 2006 and later pursued parallel studies in music pedagogy and artistic instrumental training at the Hochschule für Musik in Köln, followed by further study at the Universität Mozarteum Salzburg from 2009 to 2010.

Versatile across electric guitar, banjo, charango, baroque guitar, and theorbo, Koim is sought after for world premieres, film music, and opera productions, with concert tours to Russia, Italy, Switzerland, Austria, Denmark, and the USA. He has recorded a CD placing works by Baroque lutenist John Dowland alongside modern composers influenced by him, and since October 2019 has headed the plucked instruments department at the Institute for Musicology and Music Education at the University of Osnabrück.
