CONNIE K LIM, professionally known as MILCK, is a Los Angeles-based singer-songwriter. In 2017 MILCK became one of the leading voices of the rising anti-Trump resistance movement with her rawly emotional power ballad 'Quiet,'. It went viral after she performed it at the Women's March on Washington in January 2017.
The daughter of immigrant parents from China, she has recently been prominent in the protests against the rise in violence against Asian Americans.
Her 2020 single, 'If I Ruled The World' charts her vision of the world she wants, including power to the people - and better Wi Fi.
Says MILCK : 'To me, it’s far more empowering and energising when we encourage people to imagine the world they want, rather than when we focus on cursing the parts of the world we don’t want to see.'
While she warns that 'the fight to win the world is a marathon' the overriding sentiment in all her more explicitly political songs is that 'when we fight, we win' even when the odds seem insurmountable.
