7 Questions with Paolo Mojo





What are you loving right now ?


Paolo : Greece





What are you listening to on your ipod ?


Paolo : Newish albums from Boards of Canada , Ulrich Schnauss , Alan Parsons Project and the usual selection of nostalgic 80's pop music .





In your opinion what are the most powerful brands in the world right now ?


Paolo : The ones that tap decision makers and trend-setters to make what they consider to be a positive value judgement /lifestyle choice . Historically things like Coca Cola , more recently things like Starbucks i guess . These brands are the most powerful simply because they reach the widest audience . Personally i was always impressed with Orange ( the UK Cellphone provider ) and stuff like Lush and Innocent in the UK ( toiletries and fruit smoothies ) . Because of the innovative and informal use of language those brands use ...





Who is your Favourite designer ?


Paolo : In terms of how i live my daily life , almost certainly Jonathan Ive . He designed the original imac, ibook and ipod and paved the way for the look , feel and design of all their products . Seeing as i use them constantly and they never fail to impress me with their design.It's undoubtedly him .





What can't you live without ?


Paolo : Hmmm! Laptop i guess , I'm always travelling and use it to keep in touch .





What are you hating in our world ?


Paolo : I'm a lover not a hater . I wish there was a little more tolerance and understanding in general , i suppose .





What question should i ask the next person ?


Paolo : Ask them what they are doing while they are typing these answers ?


Starkid: You are right !! listening to the latest Ulrich Schnauss album . No pun intended , it's a masterpiece .





Thank you for your valuable time . Take it easy with the gigs !


Greetings from Mauritius
