In this episode, Matt sits down with rising indie folk artist Vincent Lima for a raw and thoughtful conversation about songwriting, mythology, mental health, touring, and the unexpected emotional weight of going full time as a musician.
Vincent breaks down the creative world behind his upcoming Versions of Uncertainty EP — a concept project inspired by Orpheus and Eurydice, memory, grief, and the complicated ways we process loss. He shares how the song “Orpheus”unexpectedly became a fan favorite, and how he used mythology as a vehicle to explore deeply personal themes.
We discuss how his fanbase grew authentically online, what it felt like to quit his job to pursue music, how he stays grounded on the road, and why opening for artists like Jonah Kagen, Darren Kiely, and Hozier-adjacent acts helped him develop his identity as a performer.
This is one of the most thoughtful and emotionally resonant conversations on the podcast — perfect for fans of Hozier, Noah Kahan, Dermot Kennedy, and storytelling-focused indie folk.
In This Episode:
• How the Orpheus EP was born from grief and classical mythology
• The moment Vincent realized he could pursue music full-time
• The pressure of being vulnerable online
• Why imposter syndrome affects artists at all levels
• Touring life: openers vs. headliners
• How Vincent’s fans helped shape his artistic identity
• What’s next for Versions of Uncertainty
A must-listen for anyone who loves narrative songwriting, emotional indie folk, and the human side of being an artist today.
