You had me laughing at Brakence because I do not know how to pronounce his name either but I do know how to spell it and I think that's what matters.
I love that dude's music as well as Glaive. So iconic.
What are your thoughts on changing your name or starting a new alias if the genre of music is different from a name you have already established?
I’m a solo artist. I write, produce, play all the instruments, mix, master etc. I think I fall into the pop/rock/country/earthy/ categories (well, that’s how I see myself). I have some previous releases under my actual name but frankly, it’s pretty uninspiring (Darren Turner). I am making 2024 the year I get serious about promoting my music and want to do a relaunch because virtually no one knows who I am. I have been drawn to the name “One Trick Pony”. I’d love some feedback before I make the leap, cause I have zero idea what I’m doing when it comes to promoting my music :/
My real name is Berenice and my second name is Marguerite. These are Afrikaans and French, I'm not even gonna try and explain how to pronounce it correctly. So now I came up with something completely different.
What do you think of the name "ForgettingVenus"?
This is something I'm having the hardest time with. I've had a few projects with different names but I'm never satisfied with the name. I say "Oh I'll just keep it simple and use my real name somehow." ….😒
Thoughts on historical figure or events like franz Ferdinand? Great video 🎉
We are the Suck n Fuck Miesters
what are the pros and cons over using two-names (like Bruno Mars, Mac Miller) versus single names (Brakence, Drake)?
My name is Manuel and my Dad has called me Manulator since i was a kid so thats my artist name.
Where do i go to make my name real ??
So I go by ghostii. Now there are two bigger artists making similar music, one named Ghostie and one named Ghosty. Should I change my name? I have no idea what to change it to either and it took me years just to get to ghostii
Jesse, what do you think, is name Urbanstep okay?
My brother Chris is a visual artist and singer. He has been known by a certain moniker for several years, but now there is an EDM artist with the same name.
In my view, the EDM Chris has a stronger claim since the name is allegedly on his birth certificate, and his work has an actual footprint in online retailers and music blogs. While my brother has a longer history using the name online, he also has a long history of deleting music projects and changing his social media handles on a whim.
My brother was in a short-lived and ill-fated management situation, where they tried to use C&D to scare off the other Chris. 😒 That did not work, and they've remained in this inconvenient stalemate for years.
My question is If you started a band, played in that band for years and gained a following, but everybody else quits, do you think it would be wise to continue to release music under that band's name? Or should you just begin a career as an independent artist? Note: I wrote all the music for my band since the beginning (none of the lyrics as I am a musician, not a vocalist), and I don't want to part from the years of hard work on this project that I have put into it.
Hey Jesse is my name ok?
I don't see a link for the name checker web site
How to accept a stage name? I want a stage name different from my usual name because of privacy and I think its not artistic, but I don't feel good or connected with any stage name out there. How do we do it?
Its so frustrating. Ive had a name for my project that fitted perfectly, and ive had it for maybe a year or so. For some reason i was too stupid to check spotify before becoming attached to the name. It fits what i wanted to do so well, but i cant use something thats already being used by multiple people on spotify. Arrgghh
boost like count to 666 <333
So what you’re saying is I fkd up changing the a’s to v’s in my artist names 😢
Ah yes "Idiateek" love this song
Brakence is a great name
1:46
huh, me?
I've been using a stage name for years just because my real name is hard to pronounce. Sometimes it gets confusing when getting paid. Will this cause any problems when joining ASCAP, BMI or any other sources of royalties?
I need your service
I need some help, I make indie music, I don't know how my name sounds(just looking for an aesthetic name), is generic?. what opinion would you give me?
I'm Croatian. My last name ends with a "ščić". I also want to become a famous singer. If I don't make myself an artist name, my career is doomed
welp looks like i need a new name
Can you comment on my idea?
I was thinking of the name Trippy Restrepo but I'm a lil unsure about it. As you can probably already guess from the "trippy" part, I want to make psychedelic/shoegaze/dreamy type of music and the Restrepo part is my last name. I think it stands out pretty well especially because of me putting my last name on it but I'm not a big fan of the trippy part. I feel like it sounds really generic and poppy which is the last thing I want. Any suggestions?
So I'm a rapper and I've been having this problem aswell. Like there's lil baby and dababy baby keem and for me I feel like I should use my name Jason in all caps but Idk if ill get sued by Jason Derulo or Jason Mraz.
I had the name that i liked but then TikTok said i couldn’t have that name so i need to make another so I’m back at square one
I assume the queen of England is the most powerful woman in the world?
I have a question regarding names already being taken. What if I want to use my actual real name, but it is already taken? Do I have to change it?
