This morning I was joined by Paolo Morena, the Chelmsford based singer, songwriter and musician whose looping techniques of layering a song as he plays live effectively make him a one man band. Paolo is passionate about sharing his creativity with others, and he encourages members of his fan club to customise their own album – by choosing the tracks, designing the cover and even creating their own remixes of his songs! Members receive a fresh new song every month, together with alternative versions and downloadable files of the raw components allowing them to remix their favourite tracks. To download his new EP, for more information on the fan club or for details of where you can see him play live visit Paolo’s website, or email paolo@themightysmall.com.

Paolo also set a question to win a selection of his CDs, a Paolo t-shirt and a subscription to the website, asking for the name of the Paul Simon album inspired by the music of African artists. Well done to Robert for being the first to enter with the correct answer, Graceland.
