The mysterious “face" of the Icelandic electronic scene 

Mighty Bear continues to mesmerize audiences with hauntingly abstract synth soundscapes and melancholic vocals, taking listeners on a journey that is as emotionally dreamlike as it is nightmarish. Mighty Bear’s unique fusion of drag culture and abstract electronic pop creates an unparalleled, immersive experience that transcends the ordinary.

A performer who truly understands the art of spectacle, Mighty Bear dispels any notion of static, uninspired performances. The shows are an audio-visual feast, featuring glittering gowns, towering heels, ethereal film imagery, masks, wigs, and a commanding stage presence. Emerging in ghostly, glamorous masks to a backdrop of intense yet ethereal beats, Mighty Bear reigns as the undisputed dark queen of Reykjavík’s electronica scene.

The artist’s debut at Iceland Airwaves 2017 sparked widespread acclaim, cementing their place as a compelling force in Icelandic music. Since then, Mighty Bear has graced the stages of major festivals such as Iceland Airwaves, Secret Solstice, and Sónar Reykjavík, as well as performing internationally.

During the pandemic, Mighty Bear collaborated with renowned artists such as Hermigervill, Ragnar Zolberg, and EinarIndra, showcasing an ability to thrive even in challenging times. Additionally, releases with the American label OIM Records broadened their reach beyond Iceland.

In 2024, Mighty Bear released the much-anticipated Angurværð, a captivating work that showcases the artist's signature blend of Icelandic sombreness and melancholy. The album has been lauded for its rich emotional depth and innovative soundscapes reaffirming Mighty Bear’s status as a bold and visionary voice in the Icelandic scene.

Forever enigmatic, Mighty Bear continues to shape and redefine the landscape of electronic music in Iceland and beyond.
