🎵 Creating Your Artist Identity
Your artist name is more than just a label—it's your brand, your identity, and often the first thing people remember about you. A great stage name can help you stand out in a crowded industry and create a lasting impression.
What Makes a Great Artist Name?
Memorable: Easy to remember after hearing it once
Unique: Stands out from other artists
Searchable: Easy to find on Google and streaming platforms
Speakable: Easy to pronounce and spell
Timeless: Won't feel dated in 10 years
Before You Decide
Before committing to a name, search for it on Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube, Instagram, and Twitter. Check if the domain is available and search trademark databases. The last thing you want is to build a following only to discover someone else already owns the name.
💡 Pro Tips
Test with friends first
Say it in a sentence: "Now performing... [your name]"
Check social media handles
Avoid special characters
Google it thoroughly
Sleep on it before deciding

A good artist name should be memorable, easy to spell and pronounce, unique enough to stand out, and reflective of your music style. Consider names that are searchable online, available on social media platforms, and won't be confused with existing artists. Test it by saying it out loud and imagining it on a marquee.
Both can work well. Using your real name feels authentic and personal (like Adele or Ed Sheeran), while a stage name lets you create a distinct persona and can be more memorable (like Lady Gaga or The Weeknd). Consider your privacy preferences and whether your real name is easy to remember and spell.
Search on Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube, and social media platforms. Check trademark databases in your country. Search Google to see what comes up. Look for domain name availability. If a name is actively used by another musician in your genre, it's best to choose something different.
Yes, but it's challenging. Rebranding requires updating all platforms, potentially losing followers and search rankings, and re-establishing your identity. It's better to choose a name you can grow with. Some artists like Diddy and Snoop Dogg have successfully changed names, but they were already established.
Memorable names are typically short (1-3 words), have interesting sounds or rhythms, create vivid imagery or emotions, and are unique without being impossible to spell. Alliteration (Marilyn Manson), unexpected combinations (Arctic Monkeys), or powerful single words (Lorde) all work well.
It can help, but isn't required. Genre-suggestive names set expectations (DJ Snake sounds electronic, Johnny Cash sounds country). However, many successful artists have names that don't directly indicate their genre, giving them flexibility to evolve their sound over time.
🎤 Note: Always verify that your chosen name isn't already trademarked or in use by another artist. Search streaming platforms, social media, and trademark databases before making your final decision.
