About
Hi, I’m Karen Lim - Cheah, an accomplished composer, music arranger and songwriter with over 30 years of experience in song writing and music arrangements for ads, pop, dance and orchestral projects. I love collaborating with diverse teams—from sound engineers to creative directors—and I’ve led international recording projects (e.g., a 50-piece orchestra in Bulgaria and Prague). I’m always learning, growing, and delivering high-quality content from concept to completion.
