Samar Rad, known professionally as Mentrix, is an Iranian-born musician, songwriter and multidisciplinary artist, currently based in Berlin.

[3] Samar wrote her first song in 2013, in which year she also contributed guest vocals to the Fink album Hard Believer.

This was her first credit under the name Mentrix, a name she chose for herself “because I was looking for the female version of [the word] mentor… and I couldn’t really find one.”[4] In 2015 Samar settled in Berlin, where she began writing and recording for what would be her debut album.

[5] Released in early 2020, My Enemy, My Love was met by positive reviews, with Mojo calling it a “mesmerising debut”[6] and Future Music describing it as an “intoxicating clash of eastern and western cultures.”.

[8] In June 2023 Mentrix was announced as one of the composers for the latest game in the Ubisoft Prince of Persia series.
