Influences
broccoli, spinach, morning quesadillas, flannel blankets, the boulder rocks at joshua tree, anything dealing with an old mustang, the desert, and wind blowing in.
In a published review of Connie's debut EP entitled Shifting, Berkeley's Daily Californian describes Lim's music as "exuberant" and "more a labor of love, or even fun, than an effort to impress." Often referenced as Fiona Apple, Cat Powers or Sara Mclaghlin, Connie draws inspiration from every bend in the road.
Lim admits that music isn't just an interest for her. It's a necessity. "I'm a very emotional person, and music keeps me from spinning into a crazy frenzy." It continues to both figuratively and literally guide her through her own coming-of-age: "Sometimes I drag the beat a bit. I want to feel it go ahead of me... how lonely if I were always on beat, always on my own! i prefer to feel the pull, the conversation in between. It's a way of proving to myself that even when I can't be superwoman at all times, I'll still make it through."
These days, Connie is in the studio recording tracks as she goes along, determined to not feel rushed, "In a world that values speed processors, instant noodles and go-gurt, I'm taking my time to allow for my work to be as honest as possible. People are not stupid. They can tell when you're just throwing things together."
Connie spends most of her time roaming around in Los Angeles, where she continues to live, write and perform with her live band, The Forrest Philosophy. You can find her at House of Blues, Viper Room, and The Mint.
