Mighty Bear

The mysterious “face" of the Icelandic electronic scene Mighty Bear takes his listeners on an emotional, dreamlike—and at times nightmarish–journey, with haunting abstract synth soundscapes and soft, melancholic vocals. Pollinating the worlds of drag culture and abstract electronic pop. Mighty Bear's show is audio-visual in nature: any danger of laptop-staring, knob-twiddling boredom is immediately dispelled by the accompanying glittering gowns and towering heels, rippling film imagery, masks, wigs, and a bold, charismatic approach to the stage. Strutting onstage in a ghostly, glamorous mask to a soundtrack of intense but ethereal beats, Mighty Bear is the undisputed dark queen of the Reykjavík electronica scene. It’s no surprise that the solo debut at Iceland Airwaves 2017 created a buzz all over town about this artist in a black cape, hidden behind a mysterious mask. Mighty Bear has performed at festivals such as Iceland Airwaves, Secret Solstice and Sónar Reykjavík along with shows in Italy. Icelandic sombreness and melancholy
