Bio
Mimi Gilbert is an indie folk singer‑songwriter based between Melbourne, Australia (Naarm) and Los Angeles, USA who has been active in the independent music scene for over a decade. Although *born and raised in California*, Mimi relocated to Melbourne where they became deeply immersed in the local music community, performing live shows, touring nationally and internationally, and building a devoted grassroots following. Their songwriting blends intimate acoustic folk, dreamy indie textures and reflective lyricism.

They’ve also been featured on national Australian radio (e.g., *triple j* and *Double J*), earning attention for their honest songwriting and compelling performances. Overall, Mimi Gilbert is known for their rich storytelling, thoughtful folk‑indie sound, and deeply personal musical voice that resonates with audiences around the world.
