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.
