Singer-songwriter Mimi Webb has been described as a “viral pop powerhouse”. At just 22, her music has racked up over 250 million streams, she is one of the most popular young British artists on TikTok with 1.3 million followers and, ahead of the release of her debut album next week, she was a nominee at the BRIT Awards. She’s also knackered, letting out a huge, comical yawn shortly after we start chatting on Zoom. “Oh god, I’m so sorry! It just came out, I’ve no idea where that came from!”
Webb can be forgiven for being tired. Two days earlier, she was at the BRITs for the first time after being nominated for Best New Artist. The day after, she flew out to Cologne for a whirlwind promotional tour of her upcoming new album, Amelia, and now, she’s in a hotel in Berlin for more press before she travels further across Germany. She’s also getting ready for a headline tour this spring.
