MILCK

Los Angeles pop singer/songwriter Milck struck a chord of solidarity in early 2017 when her soulful ballad, "Quiet," became an anthem for victims of sexual abuse. A first-generation American born to Chinese immigrants, Connie Lim studied classical piano at a young age, later teaching herself to write pop songs while attending college at Berkeley.

Inspired by her own experiences with domestic abuse and trauma as a 14-year-old, Lim wrote the song in 2016, eventually debuting it live during the Women's March in Washington, D.C. alongside a choir of strangers with whom she'd barely rehearsed. A video spontaneously recorded from the crowd soon went viral, and within a month Lim had appeared on a number of national talk shows and signed a deal with Atlantic Records.
