Fimm's voice can be heard on Iggy Pop's versions of Serge Gainsbourg’s ‘La Javanaise’ and ‘Et Si Tu N`Existais Pas’. Fimm plays piano, sings, and writes her own songs. She has "received continual accolades from Rolling Stone and Billboard for her stellar songwriting. "Billboard called A Perfect Dream (2002) an album that "contained a chilling, isolated beauty" and Nexus (2004) a "stunning celestial journey." Billboard compared her work on A Perfect Dream to work by Tori Amos. The Charleston Gazette echoed the comparison to Amos and wrote that Fimm is "not afraid to tell the world how she really feels. "Her work on Near Infinite Possibility (2011) (produced by David Baron) shows influences from Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd and Heart, and featured musicians such as Josh Freese, Brian Viglione, Earl Slick, Sterling Campbell, John Andrews and others. Fimm has been involved in outdoor art installations through an initiative called Inspire Art. In 2015, with the help of music producer David Baron, two more albums came to fruition – Potnia Theron (2015) and Adaquarium (2015). Given Never Offered (2018) is her latest release. The album features producer David Baron, multi-instrumentalist Erik Lawrence, bassist Sara Lee, and drummer Ben Perowsky. Fimm is currently on the platform Patreon, releasing exclusive content in exchange for a "piece of her soul." She is also currently working on two new albums to be released in 2020.
