I have a track that needs to be released and was procrastinating because I haven't been able to finalise on an artist name. For some reason, the way you presented this video actually put me in a good mood to brainstorm (again). Thanks. Subbed!
I have the same! I have been making music for years, but because I have been thinking of an artist name for years, I have not officially released any music yet. Hopefully I will get one soon:) Good luck
Appreciate this, especially the advice to just stop overthinking it and pick something ha. I've been waiting to release stuff for too long bc I've been indecisive on a name - time to just pick one!
The indecision loop is exhausting. Just gotta send it! There's no perfect name, but it's the imperfections of life and art that make it all human. You got this mate! 💛
All of this 100%. I just got over this recently. If you don’t just choose a name and release music now, nobody will ever hear your music. We can find anything to procrastinate over
I'm amazed by the video quality for having such a tiny number of followers. Great work and actually helpful. Especially your tip just to pick one 'cause it doesn't really matter that much. At least much less than it does to oneself. I'm struggling at this very moment picking one so your video helped me. Here comes the test: What music do you think someone's making who goes by the name of Jin Rook? :D Have a good one!
Thank you so much Robin! I’m glad it was helpful 😊 Yeah, I really do believe that an artist name doesn’t matter as much as it feels like it does. Hmm, I could see Jin Rook fitting for Indie, Pop, Folk, Electronic, Rap, and maybe even Progressive Metal or Math Rock. It’s a pretty versatile name! I could see it working for a solo artist or band as well.
Ok I have a problem. I want to release music, but I also am a stage performer. I do theatre, and so my branding on social media is my natural name. Which is a great stage name, McLain Hunter. I’m torn with whether or not, I should create a separate account for my music, which will mean choosing a different artist name, or conjoining my theatre account with my singing one to just be my natural name McLain. I like my middle name too, Elise. I just am torn between whether or not to use my name. And if it has that “It” singer quality to it if you know what I mean?
I really like the name McLain Hunter! It's a great name for a music artist-plus there's no one else with that name making music so that's a huge plus! When people search for you they can actually find you! I'd recommend just keeping everything together in one account under your name. Social media is muuuuch more manageable without separate accounts. It's cool to see a more complete picture of a person on their social media account, and blending theater and music seems natural. Elise is a beautiful middle name. With or without the addition of the your middle name I think your name is fantastic. 💛
@@freshlysunlit so cool Andrew! Andy Marshal is my real name and it evokes the Marshall guitar amps brand which is close to my niche, so I should be happy and create more content rather than look for improvements in this field.
Well said! I’m kinda at a crossroads where I’ve rebranded to Tapepusher and now I’ve an album ready so it’s my last chance to stick with TP or rebrand before the album goes out. Which is a better name in your opinion: Tapepusher Living Memory GiraffeWave Mike Entropy
hey man, I've been thinking about "Beau Aramis" and I liked it for a few months but now that i look back at it, i think it sounds too "French" and I'm not even French. I like 'Beau' but I'm not too sure about Aramis, i think I wanna replace it with something else, but idk where to start, like where do i find new names/words
Idk how to create my name. For almost two years now I've created abt 200 names and most of them start with Y, cuz I wanted Yung and Youth (and similars) but those are already occupied and idk what to do. I want a name that starts with Y (bc it stands for Young) and is related to skateboard. I will play indie rock and produce some beats. Any ideas? Nice vid btw! P.D: Just found that I'm the 100th comment :))
Woo for being the 100th comment!! 🎉 200 names is a lot! You've really gone through a lot of ideas. It's challenging finding names that aren't already taken. How about something like "Yskate"? Or maybe combine different words that start with Y with the word skateboard or things associated with skating. Maybe even a random word generator or Chat GPT could help get some more ideas flowing. Best of luck mate!
From a marketability and longterm standpoint I'd consider going with the name no one has used. But if you really like your nickname I'm sure you can make it work!
Hey man. I have been thinking a lot about my artist name. Could you suggest some ideas? My name is Rohan Gaur. I am a multi-genre music producer(love dubstep and futurebass). (earlier I was thinking about ROHANON, no_ROHAN). Suggest more man please. or something different
Do you think Ana Mars is a good artist name? Ana is my first name and Mars is just something I added when I was little. I'm trying to think of something else but I don't really know what else. The problem is so many people already use "Mars" so idk
Ana Mars is a wonderful artist name! There's a ton of people who have "freshly" or "sunlit" in their artist name, but no one has both except me 😌 And it looks like it's the same with Ana Mars-some people have Ana or Mars, but you'd be the first to put them together! If the name feels right to you, I'd just go for it! Best of luck to you Ana 💛
I’ve been trying to figure this out for the longest time. My name is Emmett Parodi, but it’s my name so it doesn’t stand out to me. Idk what its like for other people
What kind of music do you make? It's a cool name, and there's isn't anyone else using it, which is good. There is one dude on Spotify called MAGEFA all caps, but if your music is different enough I don't think it's a big deal cause your names aren't identical
I'd say go for it! I did a search and there doesn't seem to be any other artists with that name, which I think is one of the most important factors when choosing an artist name is that it's unique and not already taken. Best of luck mate! @@meetkachhadiya6385
So what if you like music. Abstract art that you are trying to do? How does those two fit into one? How would I go about doing a nevermind I probably have no talent. So I try hard don't know if I am good or not but f*** it I don't care. As long as you're enjoying what you do. Yay😮🎉🎉🎉😂❤❤❤ good video. I thought I wanted to write poetry and songs but I don't know I don't know I'm not that who would tell me anyway. Have a beautiful day😢😢😢😮😊
Abstract art and music can totally go together! if you have an interest whatsoever in trying out writing songs or poetry give it a go! It can take some time to get the hang of a new skill, but you'll know sooner than later if you have a knack for it or if you enjoy it and wanna keep doing it!
good vibes man 🤙🏽 glad to hear someone speak on this common unexpected struggle for us artists ahaha

What's your stage name then?
@@sinatra7407 Now releasing lofi music as Meek Motif. And also EDM as SRAID (but not focusing now)

I'm so glad it was helpful! Best of luck with your creative journey 💛
love your vibe man. Really helpful video!
The 200+ list is such a MOOD
Duuuude the synchronicity! I know you from tiktok. You just randomly appeared on my feed on youtube. 💎
omg that's awesome! much love bro
@@freshlysunlit much love my homie 🎵🎵🎵☺️
I've been trying to find an artist name for a long time, still haven’t found a good one. My Greek name isn’t the easiest one to pronounce and remember
It can definitely take some time to find the right name, but I'm sure you'll find it! Honestly you have a name that's unique and cool, I like it 😌
@@freshlysunlit Thanks for your positiveness! I'm glad you like it!!😛
Lol I have the exact same problem
Katsanos seems a great stage name
Same bro
that's a subscribed for me. best video I've seen about this.

@@freshlysunlit ok got it! Thank you so much for your advice!
cute video, thank you!!
thanks for watching!
soo agree the music matters much more than the name.. having said that I'm still torn if I will simplify my name :D
Yeah, it's tough deciding to change a name. Go with what feels right!
@@freshlysunlit thank you. How do like my name now?
@@andymarsal Well, my name is Andrew so I might be biased, but I like it!
@@freshlysunlit so cool Andrew!
Andy Marshal is my real name and it evokes the Marshall guitar amps brand which is close to my niche, so I should be happy and create more content rather than look for improvements in this field.
When I looked this up I was not expecting this
Well said! I’m kinda at a crossroads where I’ve rebranded to Tapepusher and now I’ve an album ready so it’s my last chance to stick with TP or rebrand before the album goes out.
Which is a better name in your opinion:
Tapepusher
Living Memory
GiraffeWave
Mike Entropy
What type of music do you make?
Best video on this topic.
Thank you so much!
Great video!
Great helpful video fr
Should I just use my name as an artist name? It's Siroosh 🤔
I'd say go for it! It's a cool name
hey man, I've been thinking about "Beau Aramis" and I liked it for a few months but now that i look back at it, i think it sounds too "French" and I'm not even French. I like 'Beau' but I'm not too sure about Aramis, i think I wanna replace it with something else, but idk where to start, like where do i find new names/words
Aramis sound cool actually
Just aramis would be dope
Thank you so much
For sure mate!
Great idea! But I have a little problem with myself. I want to start with the artist name “Atlasvegas”. Is it copyrighted?? I mean “Las Vegas”??
That name should be ok to use. City names are public domain and can't be trademarked, which is why you see those I

Loved this video! thanks
Very complete yet concise information with a side of personal story
I want a unique nickname that will help me glow to a stronger person. I have some ideas and I keep going back to my first choice. 😂
Sometimes the first choice is the best choice!
Very cool. And cool name. 👍
ty bro!
Thank you ❤
loving your channel man. any recommends for my artist name? need to drop the DJ...
I honestly can’t decide if I should use my nickname I’ve had for years that many people have used, or just some random name no one has used.
From a marketability and longterm standpoint I'd consider going with the name no one has used. But if you really like your nickname I'm sure you can make it work!
I believe the term to use is pseudonym... 😊
Good Content.
Ah, that's the word!

That stands out a lot to me, has a bonus of an actual misspelled word. And unique, great sounding solo artist name imo
I also have'nt released because of this reason, it is holding me back like crazy
Aight, first artist name that you can come up with that isn't already taken, use it! Gotta just go for it! 👊
what do you guys think about my name? its Arievilo, what about it???? its my real name tho LMAO
It's a dope name
@@freshlysunlit thx my bro 🤠
Im confused between klash redbone or DruiD ? Which one is good?
klash redbone might be a better choice because there are multiple artists on Spotify with the name "druid" so people might mix you up with them.
@@freshlysunlit thanks btw do you any other names for rap artist? Actually this name is bit long so?
Is Magef a good name?

Omg I’m so done ever name I come up with it’s all ready taken
Hey, what do you think about "The Brick Bone" is it a good artist name?
What type of music will you be making?
@@freshlysunlit Im a freestyle DJ and produce Hip Hop / RnB
?
I'd say go for it! I did a search and there doesn't seem to be any other artists with that name, which I think is one of the most important factors when choosing an artist name is that it's unique and not already taken. Best of luck mate!
