Watching teen sisters Mimi & Josy sing their gorgeous harmonies is like a ray of sunshine! The Voice Kids stars, aged 16 and 14 respectively, keep going viral for their home performances. What’s really impressive about their million-view performance of “What Are We Afraid Of” is that they wrote the song themselves. Both sisters have incredible voices in their own right, and when they start harmonising, get ready for goosebumps!
Combine that with their guitar and songwriting skills, there’s no secret as to why they’ve become the internet’s fav teen folk duo. Aside from Mimi & Josy’s musical skills, their performance of “What Are We Afraid Of” is just so heartwarming to watch. The sisters’ bond and little shared smiles make it such a feel-good performance. The Music Man readers will definitely want to tune into the a cappella section at 2:30!
When Mimi & Josy uploaded the performance, it quickly became the second most-viewed performance on their channel. Viewers were stoked about the performance from the German duo, and added comments such as “I love how their voices don’t overshadow each other – they just fit so perfectly” and “What’s amazing, in my opinion, is that you don’t even need to use Auto-Tune because your voices are already so beautiful. You’re the best!”
Mimi & Josy went viral big time when they appeared on The Voice Kids Germany. They performed Radiohead’s “Creep” in a lone piano arrangement with Mimi handling piano. Their home performance above has a big folk influence, but here they bring out some soul vibes that really hit the spot. As soon as Josy dropped in with her bold vocals, the judges started turning their chairs. Two turned at first, and when the sisters started harmonizing, the remaining two judges turned as well.
Mimi & Josy is a duo made up of Mimi Elisabeth Vogler and Josefin Elvira Vogler, who are sisters from Augsburg, Germany. During the time of their early viral performances, Mimi & Josy were known by their first names. They have since begun releasing music under the duo name Havet. The Music Man readers might be interested to hear that Mimi & Josy first came to public attention when they auditioned on the seventh season of The Voice Kids Germany. After getting their pick of all four judges, the sisters chose to be coached by country duo The BossHoss. The sisters went on to win the season, becoming the first duo to take the crown on the show. Mimi & Josy have gone on to build up a substantial following as an original music duo and have 345,000 subscribers on YouTube. They have released both duo and individual songs on their YouTube channel.
