Today we feature an interview with Mono, a goodlooking model from Sweden that now lives in England, works as a bartender in a nightclub.
Tell us a bit about yourself, how did your career start?
It started when I was fourteen years old, when I went shopping in my home town. The shop attendant asked me if I would consider modeling lingerie and ladies-wear for her. I accepted her offer and worked for her until I was seventeen, and left when I moved to Gothemburg. There I studied media at college and had a few jobs as make-up artist and extra in some music videos and also some Swedish TV-shows. After that I came in contact with Elin Striga at Nocturnal Models, where I am currently registered. Now that a new year has begun what are your wishes/resolutions? I've recenty moved to Manchester, England and think it would be nice if I could get in contact with someone here, who couold help me further my modeling career.
Do you only work as a model or do you have another job?
When I was eighteen I produced a book, EGEN Material-Manniska wich contains poetry and pictures about five elements... Earth, Water, Fire, Air and Metal. I also enjoyed the last photoshoot with Elin Striga, for a hairstudio (Safari) in Gothenbourg where I did my long white and purple dread-exstensions. She's an amazing photographer and a good friend of mine so it's always a pleasure to work with her.
Do you find most of the photoshoots boring or do you amuse yourself?
Sometimes I get a little bit of "stagefright" but I always enjoy being in front of the camera.
Tell us some people you enjoyed working with.
I really enjoy work with Elin Striga .we have a really fun time together while photoshooting and I really adore all of her pictures.
What inspires you and your work?
Music. Tunes.
Talking about Vamps, what are your favourite ones?
Toreadors...
How do people close to you, family and friends, react to your work?
They always wondering whats going on... Curious and supporting.
Do you feel that there is envy in the models' world?
I havent felt that much in the alternative part of the models world , but when I was younger and also did modelling for mainstream clothing and underwear there was a lot, and thats sad. Models should be better giving each other support.
Do you only do alternative modelling or also mainstream?
I did mainstream when I started (as in the beginning) and so on, now if someone wants me for a mainstream job with the whole makeover that contains, I would really enjoy it. Just for fun.
What do you love?
I love all different kinds of sounds. The sound it self. Music. Big views. Impulses. Life. It's exiting.
What do you hate?
>I hate lots of things, because there is lots of things that should be hated, and then I'm talking about big things that most people don't like. But personal, small things I hate for the moment can be...hm... to carry around with big bags, whatever they're easy or heavy haha. And...R'nB-music... it's not music at all...
Favourite bands?
I'm very openminded to music and I ADORE so much! All from old beautyful bands like The Tiny, The Doors, Jean Michel Jarre, The Cure and Pink Floyd as much as I love new experimental music from AcciiDisco, Pluxus and Fisherspooner, to psy-trance SKAZI and back to old tunes with Ozzy , over to bossa-nova/trip-hop/ambient groups like Morcheeba and Mono...Music is everything. My whole day.
Favourite artists?
Vincent Gallo
What do you do when you are not working?
Much haha. I have big plans and different projects going on in my mind. I let you all know later. Can't tell you now.
Thank you so much for your time, it was a pleasure interviewing you. Do you have any final words to our readers?
Look outside your one percent world.. It's exciting out there... Thats my motto....and it's a good one.

Do you only work as a model or do you have another job?
I am also currently working as a bartender in a busy Manchester nightclub.
How was last year modelling wise?
Only did a few photo sessions last year as I was focusing mainly on moving to England and trying to sell my horse. I am planning on spending more time on it this year as I am getting settled in Manchester, and have less to distract me from my goals.
What have been some of your favourite projects up to now?
