Talking Your Artist Name

I don't know where to post this thread, so I just started it here :

I want to know where your artist name is from?
Is it your regular name? Your nickname? Can you tell a story?

My artist name is a different to my regular name.
I was searching for a good artist name - it's really hard to find a good one!
One day I played cards with my little sister. It was a card-game about trucks, powerfull trucs, you know?
I noticed that the strongest truc was called "Lancaster" - really u.n.b.e.a.t.a.b.l.e. ! And I thought: "Hey, that name sounds good and powerful - just like my music! "
That's the way how I got my artist name

Tell me your stories...

heh

my Artist name from name and surname : ConraD Serowiecki = ConraD S

Yes i had the same trouble its EXTREMELY hard to figure out a good and effective artist name. Mine is Escada, no not becasue of the cologne brand its a personal and private reason that reminds me of an event and date. Thats basically what music is about, not about making the outside world like it but its what it means to you. You make music for yourself and what you feel goes into it. Thats what my name is about its a date taht changed me forever and thats why i have it.

My Tech Trance/Progressive alias - Lawrence Kirby

My middle name (Lawrence) and the street I grew up on (Kirby Court)

Great formula



My uplifting/melodic trance alias - Alan-M

My first name (alan) and the first initial of my last name (marcero)


My hard trance alias - Armana

I don't know... just made it up

Signal

Mine is Signal becuase im a true ham radio/cb radio head.I spend alotta time on radio and talk all over the world and thats the handle i use on the radio

Radio Signal aka Frequency 9

I was once known as Frequency 9 becuase that was the channel i talked on 9.

But now its just plain Signal i love being able to communicate around the globe.I know theres such things as chatrooms but i like to try to connect in the radio way its a challenge becuase u have to utilize the skip which only happens certain times of the day and bassically your signal bounces off clouds and gets sent 1000's of miles its really cool.

@ alanzo: Great idea: incuding the name of the street where you've been grown up!
In case of a second music project, I already know how I would call it...


Posted by chillsonic on May-15-2005 19:53:

rezynine - because i like how it sounds.


Posted by twisted on May-15-2005 21:34:

Ive called my self Socio Camp. Socio...as in Sociopath, because Im a bit of a bedroom producer (understatement of the century). and i combined part of my last name (Campbell), so its like Socio Camp...like a campground of sociopa...


i know its stupid but i liked it, and it just popped into my head. fate, i tell you, fate!


Posted by PDM on May-16-2005 04:01:

My Dark Trance / Epic Trance alter ego is Paulo Der Munoz.
Paulo is my real name.
Der in german means "the"
Munoz is my last name without the "�" .

Then for Hardstyle (which most of the time I have failed making a good sounding hard trance track), Tyrant EX, sounds agressive and powerful like hard style tracks.

And for progressive house and Proggy Trance, Gunthareiks.
Gunthareiks means God of War in Gothic Language.

caspar the friendly dj - cheezy but fun, and u all know where i got it from
flare - my most used name , uhmm because when i was small when breakdancing was popular around here 'the flare' was my fav. move
fallen angel - something that goes with my depressing music
space pirate - i needed something to go wit my first spacey track so this came out


Posted by mef on May-16-2005 05:18:

I did a remix of Hybrid - Theme from Wide Angle. But just to be different, I Called it "Acute Angle" and I thought the first part sounded kinda cool. Its short and easy to spell


Hence Acute

hows my name same as my name of here DJGeMiNi529 without the numbers though, i got that from my father he use to dj wayyyyyyyyyyyyy back


Posted by flamingopikken on May-16-2005 20:06:

I call myself Q-Project, since my middle name starts with an Q. This is supposed to be my hard dance/hard trance name, though.

When it comes to the more "softer" genres, I'm still looking for an apropriat name.


Posted by The Drow on May-16-2005 20:11:

I'm the darkone.


Posted by tripudio on May-16-2005 20:34:

I've done this in the past, taken an english word and translate into a different language, usually latin come up with some different names, hence tripudio


Posted by Subtle on May-16-2005 20:35:

didnt have an Artist name, were just looking at a cover of a Gatecrasher CD, and i loved the track Subtle By Design - Kali Yuga (John Johnson Remix) and i though that name Subtle was very cool, i looked it up first.. and that will be a name i will use for rest of my life..

my aliasses:

trance -> Cosmic Tracer (too difficult to explain the philosophy behind it.. hell i don't understand it myself, hehe.. and it probably ain't proper English )

techno/acid/all sorts of experiments -> The Bass Foundation (just came to me one day, doesn't really have a special meaning)

ambient and other soft stuff -> The Tower (i like to see myself as someone who analyses the world around me without getting involved too much, from high above in a tower.. a place where i can watch everything peacefully)

and last but not least: Kindred Spirits (project that consists of Pumaz and yours truly.. we're kinda soulmates, but we figured Kindred Spirits sounded better as an artist name )


Posted by Massive84 on May-16-2005 21:11:

Mind's Eye for most of the things now

Massive for house and beats


Posted by Storyteller on May-16-2005 22:52:

Few ones...

Storyteller > Just cam up somehow, I wanted it to reflect something... don't know what it was anymore.. I do tell rather interesting stories sometimes though, not speaking in musical terms here. This is my progressive trance alias.
Matthew Nite > Which is based on my real name, all kinds of music.
Othree > Which is O3, chemical name for Ozone, trance mostly

So, you are Kindred Spirits (with another producer), that is really nice to know.
I like the story behing your alter ego, The Tower, it sounds like myself indeed.
