About the artist
Freya Lim is a Taiwanese female singer born in Taipei on November 20, 1979.
Freya Lim entered the music industry after a KTV gathering: while back in Taiwan from the United States for work during the summer of 1999, Lim sang Sandy Lam's "夜太黑" and was invited by musician 林明陽 to sign with What's Music. Her debut solo album, "林凡freya," was released in 2000 and included "一個人生活."
The year after her debut record was released, Freya Lim was nominated for Best New Artist at the 12th Golden Melody Awards but could not attend the ceremony because of her studies. In June 2001, her second solo album, "都是他," was released; its song "愛情超能力" was selected as the Chinese-language theme song for the animated film "史瑞克."
After ending her contract with What's Music, Freya Lim graduated from the University of Washington in Seattle with a degree in psychology in 2002 and joined Linfair Records at the end of that year; a new record was repeatedly delayed because of changes in planning personnel. In 2007, she released her first English-language cover album, "非愛不可·心林凡," then pursued a master's degree in mass communication at Boston University, graduating and returning to Taiwan in 2009.
While her record was delayed, Freya Lim hosted "娛樂飛行船" on FM98.9 Best Radio Network, introducing English oldies and their backgrounds in the regular segment "魔力水晶球." From 2009 to 2017, she hosted "i-have fun" on BCC Music Network, leaving in 2017 after hosting the program for eight years.
In December 2010, Freya Lim released her fourth solo album, "眼淚流回去"; "五天幾年" and "重傷" became the opening and ending themes, respectively, of "犀利人妻." The following year, the album earned Lim a nomination for Best Mandarin Female Singer at the 22nd Golden Melody Awards, while "重傷" was nominated for Song of the Year.
Her fifth solo album, "愛情很突然," was released on April 27, 2012, and included songs such as "告別像低迴溫婉的小調." In 2013, Freya Lim and 洪敬堯 sang "愛是最美的事情," the theme song for "台灣舞孃." On May 2, 2014, her sixth solo album, "歲月這把刀," was released with ten songs.
Freya Lim signed with Sony Music in 2016 but did not release a solo album through the company; she joined Warner Music in 2019. In May 2021, she released "名人錄Who's Who," her first collaboration with 倪子岡; the song was selected as the Chinese-language theme song for the film "殺手保鑣2."
Freya Lim appeared in the stage play "愛情里程" in 2009 and held her first large-scale ticketed solo performance, "林凡 Freya&Friends 幸福零缺口犀利演唱會," at the Taipei International Convention Center on August 18, 2012; the following year, she performed with the Philharmonia Moments Musicaux in New Taipei City. After leaving her radio program in 2017, Lim moved to the EZ5 bar to hone her live singing and appeared in the original musical "偷心情歌" in January 2018. In 2025, 太報 reported that Lim shared the stage with Michelle Pan at the 60th Golden Bell Awards and sang "Lydia" and "想見你想見你想見你."
