Kien Lim is an Independent Folk Rock Pop troubadour who is currently based in London. His haunting melodies, not so innocent lyrics, and powerful, dreamy vocals, take one on a mesmerizing trip to unexpected places.

Although born in Brighton, England, Kien was raised in Malaysia, and started his musical journey as an electric guitarist playing diverse musical styles from Jazz, Funk and local Malay songs to heavy rock.

At age 21, he relocated to London, continuing to play in bands, broadening his musical vocabulary.

One night, while watching a BBC documentary on Country Music, he heard Gillian Welch. Her simple and beautiful music inspired and turned him on to the acoustic guitar. Also around this time, a friend invited him to perform at the next year's Rogue Performance Festival 2004 in Fresno, California. He decided to write songs for it and decided to start singing.

His debut performance at the Rogue Festival was very well received and set him on his new musical path.

On returning to London, he started busking his songs in the underground stations, to test and hone his music, to make a living from it.

He returned the next year to play the same festival and was voted by the local press, The Fresno Bee, as one of the "Top 5 Rogue Acts 2005".

Since then, Kien has played Festivals in Manchester and London, and continues to steadily win audiences with his unique brand of genre blending music wherever he plays.
