PAUSE went behind the scenes at Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival 2026 with an exclusive photo diary capturing a cross-section of global talent. Featured in the series are Italian duo Mind Enterprises, Nigerian-American artist Davido, Brazilian DJ and producer Mochakk and Ghanaian-American singer-songwriter Moliy.
Set against the backdrop of the California desert, the diary documents each artist’s Coachella experience, offering a closer look at the intersection of music, identity and personal style on one of the world’s most visible stages.
PAUSE also caught up with the artists to discuss their festival essentials, alongside their perspectives on fashion and music, and how the two continue to shape their creative expression.

MIND ENTERPRISES
Which piece from your outfit would make you PAUSE for a moment and why?
(Roberto Conigliaro): My shorts, for sure, I love wearing shorts. I will wear shorts like 365 days a year. But like, somehow it gets a bit too cold. Shame.
(Andrea Tirone): Yeah, for me, it’s definitely my suit, Loro Piana.
How do you feel like fashion and music intersect in your lives?
(Roberto Conigliaro): Our music is also our lifestyle as well, so the two things are very intertwined. So I think fashion and music, in our case, go hand in hand.
(Andrea Tirone): Music expresses lifestyle, and lifestyle is also fashion. You can’t have one without the other. In our case, for example, They’re part of the same game. Intertwined.
DAVIDO
Which piece from your outfit would make you PAUSE for a moment and why?
(Davido): I love jewellery, [especially] rings. I’ve also been buying a lot of belts so I can show off a little. I love accessories.
What are your Coachella go to items?
(Davido): Definitely some nice jeans. Today I’m wearing denim top to bottom with a nice belt. I like to feel free, so I like soft linen. I feel like a festival look, especially Coachella are kind of like cowboy type vibes. Make sure you have your boots. Don’t forget the hat!
How does fashion and music intersect for you?
(Davido): They intersect in life. Music and fashion are just like dance. Where do we spend the most budget for music videos? Fashion. Fashion definitely intersects with music. Go to any fashion show, and when they’re walking on the runway, it’s music they’re playing in the background.
MOCHAKK
Which piece from your outfit would make you PAUSE for a moment and why?
(Mochakk): Can I say all of it maybe? My pants and glasses are from Oakley, they are really fire. The glasses [in particular] are the Oakley Plantaris sq and they come with the nose shield. My boots are a collab from Oakley and a Brazilian designer called Pedro Andrade.
How do music and fashion intersect for you?
(Mochakk): Music and fashion have always been in my life, simultaneously. My mom was a fashion designer and I actually went to fashion school briefly before committing to music fully. Now this past year I launched my own clothing brand called SORO. The word ‘SORO’ can be a substance that goes into the veins of humans, like intravenously. Kinda like veritaserum, the liquid of truth, where taking it in makes you open your mind and see things in a different way.” That’s kinda the ethos. “It’s also an acronym for ‘seek other realities outside’, as in, outside of your own. To search for other points of view. The idea is to exercise creativity in the user of the substance, or the clothing pieces, which are modular. You can style it your own way and there are no right or wrong ways to do it. Fashion has always been central to how I express myself, but also my personal style isn’t fixed, just like my music.
What fashion and design elements influence your general style?
(Mochakk): I guess I really like to think about characters or personas, like choosing your character or your preset look on a video game, sometimes I want to be very casual and simple and sometimes I wanna be more playful and silly, caricature is a part of the mindset, trying to dress like my favourite characters either from live action, or animation or video games, anything can be an influence.
MOLIY
Which piece from your outfit would make you PAUSE for a moment and why?
(MOLIY): Today the most significant piece would be this pink fur coat, because it’s adorable, like me, and two, it’s kind of chilly out here, so it’s serving an amazing purpose right now.
How do you feel like fashion and music intersect in your life?
(MOLIY): I use fashion as a way to express my personality. I’m very playful, a little devious and sarcastic, and I’m a happy person and I think I like to use colour and brightness to kind of express that. Fashion is the way that I get to express my youthfulness and my playfulness.
