Bio
Jeff Lim is a classically trained violinist and a self-taught composer. Through the years, he has taken on other instruments, but when all is said and done, the violin is still his weapon of choice.
"It was a long, self-conscious road to being able to write," Jeff says. For years my family would always say stuff like "what are you playing? Can't you play a whole song? That's not your music!" By "your" they meant someone else's and by "music" they meant something that the world was familiar with. So, whenever Jeff sought refuge from life usual struggles, he came home to battle his inner critics. "One day, when my folks came to visit, my dad says, 'hey, play that song again, did you write that?'" Jeff recalls.
And ever since then, he's been one of my biggest fans.
Jeff says his music just comes to him now. Sometimes he hears it whole and complete in his head and then he rushes to record it or write it down. Not an uncommon story, really -- but beyond that, he doesn't bother questioning where the music comes from.
