Who is Nim?

Nim Zimmer is a Brooklyn-based singer-songwriter and pianist whose music transforms fleeting inner weather into resonant, piano-driven songs. Each composition begins in improvisation, from early days sketching melodies beside campfires outside Kalamazoo to late nights at upright pianos in dim-lit Brooklyn apartments. Nim’s songs arrive like transmissions, shaping inner turbulence into something listeners can hold.

Drawing inspiration from fringe singer-songwriters such as Elliott Smith and powerhouse pianists like Brad Mehldau, Nim crafts music that feels both intimate and expansive. Their sound exists in the tension between fragility and force— lyrics that whisper with vulnerability carried by piano lines that swell into cinematic landscapes.

In 2024, Nim released The Dotted Line, a nine-song meditation on consciousness in the digital age. The record featured collaborators Gregg Belisle-Chi, Sam Weber, and Lee Fish, with a guest appearance by LA’s Stratøs. Together, the album mapped questions of modern identity, asking what remains true in a world of static, distraction, and disconnection.

Nim’s latest single, Graffiti Believer, continues this vision— searching for beauty and belonging in unexpected places. It’s a song that insists art is everywhere, even in the overlooked corners of our lives. Whether scrawled on walls or sung in solitude, music becomes a reminder that strangeness itself can be sacred.

At the core of Nim Zimmer’s work is an invitation: to feel deeply, to listen closely, and to connect with art— wherever it may be found, no matter how strange.
