2015 was in general a very good year
for you. Concerts in Berlin, New
York, Milan, London and Tokyo.
What was the best experience for you
during your concerts?
Tokyo 4 sure! Best time of my life – I
got so so much love there !!!
A gig with Candy Ken is not like an
ordinary concert. Do you see yourself
more as a performance artist?
Definitely! It’s a real life music video
and hopefully takes you away from
your problems and all the basic bitches
in your life!
Can you explain: Why are you so
obsessed with Hello Kitty? And do
you get a sponsoring from them? If
not you should get it! You are like the
European ambassador of Hello Kitty.
Me and Hello Kitty just go so well
together and I love her more than
anything TBH! They really should
sponsor me!
I only know one other pop music
artist playing in your league ..
Miley Cyrus. You both know how
to use social media like Instagram,
Facebook etc.. Is she an inspiration
for you? She is like the female Candy
Ken. You both should make a duet.
I love her so so much! She also has a
bigger picture and is here 2 make the
world a better place! Her music and
videos are art and very inspiring !!!
How important is social media for
an artist nowadays? And how much
time a day you spend doing all the
channels.
For me – very important ! I need to
check it daily 2 know whats going on
and what is Zeitgeist!
Talking about Instagram. The one
and only Nicola Formichetti found
you there, and you both worked
together. Right? Tell us more about
it.
He was the first person ever who really
supported me! Nicola understands me
truly and pushes me to the next level! I
love him so much!!!
You also worked with Terry
Richardson and you guys did one
of his studio sessions. How was
that working with one of the most
famous pop culture artists of our
time? Are you a proud man now?
Life goals! As a photographer he was
my biggest role model – and now I
shot with him – this really was one of
the biggest compliments ever for me!
How important is fashion for Candy
Ken? Moschino, Jeremy Scott,
Versace .. all names connected to
Candy Ken.
Very important – self expression is
everything for me and those designers
help me with that.
