MIMI GILBERT

Mimi Gilbert (they/them) is an independent artist who has spent the better part of the last 10 years living, touring and creating music in Australia and New Zealand. Previously based in Melbourne, now back in Los Angeles, the Californian born artist, found their love for performing at the age of 15, playing around the streets of American cities. Mimi has toured with Julia Jacklin, Angie McMahon and Nadia Reid and shares a similarly deeply-crafted, folk-inflected approach to their songwriting.

Gilbert recently took on the daunting job of packing up their life and relocated back to Los Angeles. In doing so they’ve been able to find the clarity and space to dedicate themselves fully to their craft again, after taking a step back to focus on their personal life. It seems as though things are falling into place for Mimi – a much needed green card has been approved, time with loved ones and family has been had and rooms on Mimi’s first headline US tour post pandemic were filled.

During their many years since touring on the road, Gilbert has worked honing their craft and recording songs. A self-proclaimed private person, Mimi has spent a long time keeping much in hiding; their life, their sexuality, their past. Their most recent songs shatter the walls of concealment they worked so hard to build.

On the likes of ‘underrated’ (Double J) 2020 album Grew Inside The Water, Mimi established themself as a talented singer and guitarist capable of ruminative insight and quietly devastating song-craft, inviting comparisons to Laura Marling and Big Thief’s Adrianne Lenker. The album left deep ripples among many, picking up accolades such as Double J and FBi Radio Feature album and noted by NME as one of their ‘Top 10 album picks’ in 2020.

2024 brings a new album from Mimi, titled undrowning, set for release on Friday 25th October via COHORT.
