Mimic of a Mind

Eagan, MN’s Mimic of a Mind brings emotional poignancy to the realm of industrial music.

Vital

Music is absolutely essential, especially for the musician. It’s an escape, an entertainment, a mode of introspection and even a healing medicine. “Let me just put it this way. If I did not have music to create or even listen to, I don’t think I would have a mind. Music is the cure to nearly everything to me. No matter where I go, music will be there.” Music permeates everything and Mimic of a Mind’s music reflects passion and reaches out to many to share a unique vision.

Communication

Music sometimes is the only way to let another person know just exactly what was going through your mind at a specific point in time. Mimic of a Mind is here to deliver a sublime dose of ideas and entertainment by way of music’s emotional power. “My ultimate goal with the music that I create is to make the listener feel exactly what I felt at that exact moment through emotional vocals and intense imagery. The sound I produce and the vocals I deliver are my main ingredients to the original art that I come up with.”

Personal

Besides drawing influences from other great industrial artists, Mimic of a Mind also brings a very human element to its industrial music. Family and friends are a vital part of Mimic of a Mind’s world view, with one person in particular providing inspiration. “My biggest influence I would have to say would be my brother, Patrick. I don’t think I would be where I am today without him.” Industrial music doesn’t have to be cold or inhuman. Mimic of a Mind is proof. Yet it has all the punch of even the darkest varieties of the genre.

Writing

Important rule: Writing never stops. “I am always in the process of writing music. Creating music is my life.” Mimic of a Mind has just completed a new CD  “Twilight Rainbow”  and this artist is pushing to get the word out. Mimic of a Mind is currently working with A&R Select, the leading independent A&R firm in Hollywood, CA.

Sounds Like:

I have a very unique, original, dark sound that can sound like very few bands, if any. But on some songs, people have compared me to Insane Clown Posse. I make mostly industrial rock music so in some cases, you could compare me to Nine Inch Nails as well.
