[varickalinsky]

When I wanted to come up with an artist name, I wanted it to be a fresh page, a word with no initial meaning. Because in the end, I was the one who will give this word a meaning.
I came up with "Niheathyyl", it happened as I played with the letters and with the help of some designer's intuition.

Now I make music that I can't even classify within sub-genres, and that is exactly the point. It is my music, telling my story. Your music, your story, your name... these are the things that all add up to form your identity.

If you are going to come up with a name for yourself, consider that in mind.

Also great to hear a bit of "cognitive dissonance" in a music production video, lovely video as always. Keep it up.

I have ADHD and people with ADHD do this think called hyper focusing which is when you block everything out and tunnel vision everything and put all your energy into it. It is a blessing and a curse. If you dont manage it properly you just have your brain all over the place. When i rhyme and produce im on point and laser focused, so HyperFocuz. Also i unironically made it look like a bad gamer tag cause i thought it was funny. On tracks i tag as Focus. But i can get hype too. It took me years to get to the point where i had a name. It was a pivotal moment.

[chillwalker]

I was (1994) in the german Bundeswehr (Army) and I broke my ancle, so for the rest of my duty, I had to chill and walk instead of running and marching.
Somy Guy made fun of me, called me "THE CHILLWALKER" From that moment, I called myself as a Producer "Chillwalker", I love music like theMike Oldfield "Songs from the distant earth, whats a milestone in this genre.
30 years, about 70 (Chillwalker)Tracks and 200 compositions later its my exclusive IPI Author synonym, my Studio Brand, a german Trademark (international is following), its even in my official ID, because in the field of musicI am (guess what...lol) NOWADDAYS a lot of people tried to "steal!" the Name. But I was and I am the only one allowed to use it as an Artist (IPI. Look it up ;-)

[SimonePhoenix]

My given name is Gina, but my production pseudonym "Simone Phoenix" is a combination of my favorite old legend, that of the Phoenix, who self-immolates every 500 years & RISES from the ashes, then a deep admiration for the late musician/singer/activist Nina Simone.

[MidnightCamomile]

My producer name is ODog. My first name is Owen and it’s kinda a classic to put your first name initial + dog. Short n sweet, and to the point. A no brainer. 👍

[tobieshmusic]

"Toby" is my English name, and Hsu is my family name. I put them together, and it sounds like "Toby sh". After modify, I got my artist name, "TOBIE$H".

[Straight_xotic]

i love this content even though it wasn't about beats i still learn a lot

[TheTrueChrisA.K.]

Started off as Chaos,
but it manifested at a certain point,
& wanted 2 distance myself
from that name.
I took the real 1 my late grandma
gave me at birth & made an acronym:
Chris Authors Knowledge,
so honor her & have a goal every bar.

[DawnBry]

I came up with my producer name already, and im still watching this lol.

[creative_soul-recolo]

The way I came up with Creative_Soul was listening to a phenomenal house music producer called The Soul Creative so I unconsciously switched the order and removed "The" which I ended up using for my creative arts. At first, I simplified it as C_$ initially. The Recolo one was intensively researched and one which was rewarding because my music was maturing and I was doing bootlegs and I did not want to use Creative_Soul tag because it felt too easy so I was watching an interview from a Youtube channel called Recolo and I actually researched and it means "Cultivate" which was a perfect fit and I ran with it. Now I have two music aliases
Creative_Soul strictly makes Deep House and Recolo is more of an experimental alias where I dabble into Hip-Hop beats (mainly Boom Bap, Broken Beat, Funk, House Music) which is the full package.

Spaceman Ray and DJ Jerome became Sir Mixalot and Baron von Scratch as we watched hanna barbera cartoons one Saturday morning long long ago.

[Minstera]

Im not a producer, i was drinking westminster tea 😆

[Kemtrell]

The name Kemtrell is a play on my middle name Kentrell. I replaced the N with an M, and my stage name was born.

[Dub-G]

My real name is a part of my nickname from my childhood and I figured I'm unique because of it now looks like copycats came but I'm the only og 💪💜💯👑 My tag is original and that is my style, being myself and staying true to me 💪🐐

[teamart]

My name is Siroosh and I thought it was unique enough to be my music artist name but is "SIROOSH" a good name or should I change into something easier to pronounce?

[somedayapopularmusician]

sick vid, only one thing tho…. who tf admires lil pump lmfao 🫣

[jwest]

Hey man :) I’ve watched a few of your videos, haven’t gone too far into the whole production/beat making thing so far. But I’ve noticed you often say that Ableton is better than FL if you’re wanting to create hip hop beats. I was just wondering if you had any YouTube courses/playlists dedicated to Ableton? If not, could you recommend any? Thanks 🤙😁

[ayeskrooge]

I went through a few making music at 15 around my mid 20s my brother called out my childhood nickname and it just made sense "AyeSkrooge "

[prodbyreincarnation]

I literally came up with reincarnation because it sounded cool. I had another one before that had more meaning but was cringy.
