"Micke Mojo is something as unusual as a hardcore Blues N` Roll artist in a world full of dull TV clichés like "Idol". His ambition is to be able to find that spot inside him self to draw the energy from. Whenever he performs in font of an audience he tries to play like he is pouring his life out. He plays some mean sounding guitartones and his powerful voice oozes with energy!" - Berndt Fransson, Jazzbulletinen Magazine.
Due to the way the industry and the market operate, Jazz and Blues music will never be in the mainstream. But a lot of people are into music that is deeply influenced by the blues, wether they think of it or not- everything from the Beatles to Metallica. I like to tell people about my singing heroes, people like James Carr and ZZ Hill, and my guitar heroes, like Johnny Winter, Albert Collins and Otis Rush.

Rock on dude! I Svenörjans har vi ett kul trick: man liksom gör propellern och får till en ebow effekt när man lirar gitarr, det är kul men man får ont i flera dagar efteråt. Svenne gör det med basen hela tiden. In english: in the svenörjans band we do a cool trick, we do the propeller which makes a nice ebow sound when you get really close to your strat.
