One of the UK’s hottest new artists, Mimi Webb, is unstoppable! We want to tell you about Mimi, the “new beloved diva” who is gaining popularity for her lyrics that anyone can relate to and her life-sized, unpretentious character.
In the four years since her debut, she has set numerous records.
The 22-year-old singer-songwriter from Canterbury, UK, Mimi Webb, has set an impressive string of records during the pandemic: after making her debut on the prestigious Epic Records label in 2019, she released her debut single ‘Before I Go’ in 2020, which was followed by the release of ‘Before I Go’. Go’ suddenly became such a huge hit that it recorded a total of 67 million stream plays!
In addition, her first UK tour in 2021 saw all shows sold out. In the same year, she was voted third in the 2022 edition of the BBC Sound of, a gateway to success for new UK artists, which has produced the likes of Ellie Goulding and Sam Smith, and was nominated for Best Newcomer at the 2023 Brit Awards, the UK’s most prestigious music awards. He was also nominated for Best New Artist at the UK’s most prestigious music awards, the 2023 Brit Awards, making him one of the UK’s fastest-rising new artists.
Her big break came when she became the ‘Queen of TikTok’! Life-size lyrics attract sympathy.
Mimi became widely known when Charlie Damilio, the ‘Queen of TikTok’ with over 150 million followers, posted Mimi’s debut song ‘Before I Go’. When she was with Charlie at a restaurant in New York City, the song was performed a cappella in front of her, and she liked it and used it in her own post, bringing Mimi’s music to many followers.
The reason why Mimi’s songs resonate with Generation Z, especially her own and now 18-year-old Charlie’s fans, is the lyrics, which everyone can relate to. In “Before I Go”, Mimi sings to an ex-lover who has chosen to go their separate ways, “I just want you to spend one more night with me”.

Since the release of her debut single, the number of listeners has continued to grow steadily, and her fourth single ‘Good Without’ has been streamed more than 250 million times to date. The song, which reminds us that it is okay to be alone, even when we lose someone we thought we cared about, has been a defining moment in Mimi’s popularity.

Mimi’s unpretentious character is also her charm!
Mimi is loved mainly by fans of her generation because of her unpretentious character. Even though her songs have become hits and she has been selected as a support act for Tate and Justin, Mimi’s charm lies in the fact that she remains “in her twenties, just as she is”, especially in the TikTok video she made when she attended Justin’s performance where she was the support act. The TikTok video of her attending Justin’s performance, in which she was a support act, is one of the most relatable videos of Mimi.
Mimi has been a fan of Justin since she was a child. The moment she was chosen to be the support act for her favourite pop star was one of the moments when her “love for Justin” was rewarded and her dream came true. In the video, she writes about how happy she was to be able to bring her mother to Justin’s concert, and the way the father and son rejoice together at the realisation of their dream conveys the charm of Mimi as she is, without any embellishment, even after her popularity has grown. Incidentally, her mother is one of the first people Mimi lets listen to her music, and she plays demos to her mother and friends to get feedback before officially releasing a song. This is another reason why Mimi’s songs resonate with so many people.

Watching this video, in which she happily dances with Sam, with the text “I’m having the artist who inspired me to write music listen to my songs”, you can see how easily loved Mimi is by her character.
