Mimi Webb
(Picture: Sony)In 2019 Mimi Webb’s debut single Before I Go went viral with more than 20 million views on TikTok after she sang it a capella in a restaurant for US social media star Charli D’Amelio. The buzz spilled into 2020, when the song’s official airing on the video sharing platform drummed up 85.7million views, not to mention millions more streams on Spotify. The 21-year-old Canterbury singer’s brand of powerhouse pop that soundtracks love and heartache had clearly struck a chord.
But if it seemed like Webb was just lucky – park your reservations. This BRIT School and BIMM alumnae who has been writing songs since the age of 13 has had her career mapped out. Last year, Webb made a manifestation board upon which she noted down all her goals. Since then her song Good Without has reached the UK Top 10 (likewise her latest single House on Fire) and she recently came third in the BBC’s Sound of 2022 poll. Not bad for a young star who has just one EP to her name.
