So i was wondering if there was any specific moment in time, or if it was just a general movement when DJ Tiesto was just referred to as "Tiesto".
and if there was any specific reason for removing, "DJ" from the title.
I noticed Armin Van Buuren did that a long time ago - originally being called "DJ Armin Van Buuren" [i have some live sets where he was introduced as that as well], and now it's just Armin Van Buuren [no DJ]. again, any particular reason?
any other DJ's who eventually dropped the "DJ" and just became something else? |

| i think the DJ is kinda implied. "DJ Sasha!" "Oh, im here to see a dj? good to know." :wtf: |

It might have been with Nyana, maybe a bit earlier. Dunno, it's been a couple years at least though.
*edit* yeah, I just checked out the album covers on amazon.com. ISOS3 is labeled "DJ Tiesto: ISOS3" and was released in '02. Nyana came out around spring of 2003 and the album cover is labeled "Tiesto: Nyana." So I guess sometime between '02 and '03 is when he dropped it. |

| Kind of like Seinfeld's Bozo sketch, are we going to get him confused with Tiesto the district attorney? Tiesto the pope? |

| Heh, I think it happens when you start gettin popular and your like the "DJ" in your name start sounding n00bish and stoopid. Besides that I think it has more to do with the fact that when Djs start producing.. they just take out the DJ out of their names because they are not a DJ anymore particularly. |

| Tiësto has said that he uses "Tiësto" when he produces and "DJ Tiësto" when he spins, to show that they are different. I still think he is just eventually dropping the DJ from his name |

| I think, when popularity increase, the name description decrease... |

| In a few years, tiesto will change his name once more, to an unpronounceable symbol! :stongue: |

| washout |
i dont care if its due to implied reasons, or popularity.
id rather there be no dj in the title.
its an old generalization that is gay. |

That may be so, but Nyana is still titled: "Tiesto: Nyana" (note the absence of "DJ")
