Mimi Barks has built a sound that is entirely her own. Her work is rooted in the collision of metal, industrial energy and trap, shaped into something she calls DOOM TRAP. The music is emotional,
heavy and unfiltered. It reaches into places that are uncomfortable and turns them into something powerful and strangely beautiful. Nothing in her catalogue feels polished for comfort. It lives and breathes with tension, grit and truth.
Her story begins in Germany and takes shape in the underground world of Berlin where she found the freedom to experiment without limits. Berlin gave her the space to explore the extremes of punk, hip hop, techno and metal until her identity as an artist began to form. When she moved to London she found an environment that pushed her even further and from there she
started releasing music that quickly caught attention across Europe and the United Kingdom. What followed was a steady rise that placed her on important stages across the continent
including Download Festival, Wacken Open Air, Bloodstock, Boomtown, 2000 Trees and more.
Mimi is known for live performances that feel like emotional exorcisms. Her shows are intense and deeply personal. There is no distance between her and the audience. Every song becomes a release of what she carries inside and every crowd responds to that honesty. Her recordings follow the same path. From her early releases to her full length album This Is Doom Trap she has
continued to refine her sound and dig deeper into the emotional weight behind it. Her 2025 cover of Crawling by Linkin Park carried that same spirit. She reshaped a song known across
generations into something haunting and unmistakably hers.
Mimi always moves toward evolution. She never repeats herself and every new project feels like a transformation. After a short break to regroup and rebuild she is preparing for the next part of
her story. New music will arrive in early 2026 and it marks the beginning of a new chapter that is heavier, darker and more focused than anything she has released before.
