Lots of things have been going on around me. But that is story for another day.
What i want to talk about today is stage names. I was going thru LIB and saw some aspiring artistes scheduled to compete in one concert to be held soon. The names of these artistes kind of made me laff - and think.
Names like Eclipse, Dizzy, Rage, Emperor Trench. I now sat back to remember other well known artistes that have odd names as well - Tuface (love him so much by the way), Timaya, Faze, ill-bliss, jesse jagz etc. Lets not even talk about the foreign artistes sef! My question now is - HOW DO PEOPLE PICK OUT THEIR STAGE NAMES??? Especially when the stage names have absolutely nothing to do with their real names. Do they just look round and the 1st thing that pops into their heads become their names?
I think and think and think and i cant figure out what my stage name would be if i someday become an artiste.
Can you help me out? Cos you never know, i just might discover that my talent is in the creative arts. Anyone that gives me a great stage name will share in my 1st million and recording contract *wink*
Also, what would be your own stage name if you were to choose?
Do have a lovely work week guy.
Ciao!

Deletelmao@Lue. oxygen sounds good tho. You have been seriously MIA. Good to have you and your sense of humour back here.
ReplyDeleteSo stage names, well i think most of them come from nicknames altho i don't know how those are formed either. My brother is very good with forming nicknames tho so er, Frizzy nko? since there's wizzy already (coversface)
