Dean Mayo Davies (UK)

Dean Mayo Davies (UK) stayed at Creators Inn by Elvine at Scandic Malmen in Stockholm. He told us he had a wonderful stay in Stockholm, was enchanted with the city of Stockholm and that he loved the records in the room.

Who are you and what do you do?
I’m a writer living in London, a contributor to magazines including Another Man, Vogue Hommes Japan, Rodeo Italy, Zoo Magazine and Dazed Digital.

What was your reason for visiting Stockholm, and what happened while you were here?
To see some exhibitions and get a sense of the city’s energy at the moment.

How did you like the room, and what do you think about the Creators Inn by Elvine concept?
Twin Peaks OST, Kraftwerk – The Man Machine, Smashing Pumpkins – 1979 / Ugly, Nirvana – Heart Shaped Box / Marigold, Dinosaur Jr. – You’re living all over me. The records that mean so much to me, all lined up…

What’s creativity to you?
Some kind of refusal – the best creativity comes from refusal of a framework, system, convention. A dissatisfaction however tiny, insignificant and trivial.

What’s next?
Everything. It’s waiting for us…
