INTERESTING FACTS (a la wikipedia)
– This is the first of Connie’s live cover song series, as she puts it “songs to be strung together by nature’s elements”. [I’m so excited to hear water, earth,air, wind, rain, whatever she has to offer… this first taste is SO good. Go, Connie, Go!]
-Connie Lim, 24, is an LA based singer/songwriter.
– Born to a family of doctors, Connie felt quite a bit of “loving pressure” to pursue medicine as well.
– In 2004 Connie enrolled as an undeclared major at UC Berkeley with plans to pursue medicine. Pre-med then became pre-law, which then became pre-business. As she pursued her studies, she continued to write music. She then saved up money to buy her first Casio keyboard.
– She found her first band mates by typing the instruments she wanted into the search box of her facebook account, and realized many of her friends played music. Just like that, Connie started playing in the bay area with Farhad Farahmand on congas, Ian Lokae on bass, Walker Johnson on Drums, Dan on sax, and Tim Wong on Violin.
– After getting her BA from Berkeley, she drove back down to Los Angeles to pursue her career.
– Since then she’s played at top choice venues like The House of Blues, The Viper Room, The Los Angeles Orpheum Theatre, and Saint Rocke.
– Lim’s music is available on www.itunes.com/connielim and her community interact mainly on www.facebook.com/connielimmusic.
