Vincent Lima

Vincent Lima crafts songs at the intersection between universal human stories and the
vulnerable corners of his own experiences. Born in Chicago and raised in New Jersey,
Lima began writing original songs around age five – continuing into high school when he
became infatuated with folk music and taught himself how to play the piano. “After the
death of a close friend, I began writing songs about the grief process and realized they
were so personal that I should start singing them,” he says. This commitment to
emotional honesty is palpable in Lima’s voice, which is simultaneously gravelly and
tender. His songs are steeped in classic folk influences like Jackson Browne or Cat
Stevens, but the modern, cinematic production and blues-inflected vocals more closely
recall Hozier and Dermot Kennedy. Now based in Los Angeles, Lima has toured
nationally with artists like KALEO, Darren Kiely and Jonah Kagen, and had festival
appearances at Bonnaroo, Osheaga and Ocean’s Calling. His EP “Versions of
Uncertainty” came out July 19th, and features the single “Orpheus” and five other songs
that take inspiration from the tales of Orpheus and Eurydice to speak to timeless
experiences of love, loss and hope in a world in which things fade.
