Born in Hollywood, California, Connie Lim was raised in the conservative town of Palos Verdes. A shy girl, she preferred communication through the power of music, a power that improved her listening and emotional depth. Her emotional depth comes across immediately in both the range and the choice of her songs.
“Lim paid a price for acquiring this power—her family’s approval.
They wanted her to complete her medical studies at Berkeley, rather than
follow her dream to be a singer/song-writer. When asked if her parents
had accepted her choice Lim told us: “My parents took a while to accept
my decision. I high school I trotted in my sister’s footsteps, taking
AP courses, and landing on Honor Rolls year after year. I was ASB
president and homecoming queen, founder of a club that started a local
breast cancer walk.”
“I grew up ambitious and aware of my
parents’ expectations for my future as a bright professional. They
were devastated that I would throw my education away for the arts, but
now see that I’m channeling the same drive into what I believe is my
calling and they could not be happier for me. It was the hardest
journey in my life, but the most rewarding. To get emails from my dad
saying that he loves my songs is probably the best accomplishment in my
life,” she shared.
