Can having multiple DJ personas hurt you?

I say it doesn't, but the other one says he'll hurt me if i say that.

No. It hurts you if you have one persona and produce different genres. If Wolgang Gartner released a disco house track he would use an alternate moniker.

See: Eric Prydz, aka Cirez D, aka Pryda. All different types of tracks produced under the different monikers.

Or

Tiesto, aka Da Joker and aka (my personal favorite btw) Steve Forte Rio.

Or

David Guetta, aka El Terrible

David Guetta, aka El Terrible

Hhahaahha.

Eric Prydz confuses the shit out of me still. I wish he would pick just one and stick with it. I never know which one I should use.

Armin van Buuren AKA Gaia.
Avicii AKA Tim Berg.

They're all over the place.

David Guetta, aka El Terrible

Le Terrible

Thanks everyone for the replies. What I'm gathering is that playing the different genres won't hurt me but could be possibly damaging if I used the same moniker. For now, I will stick with the two.

I'd never play a top 40 gig, no matter what I was offered. I'm far too picky for that nonsense. Strictly top 30 for me.

hahaha made me lol

i really think Eric Prydz is the best example. he has been successfully producing under 3 names for years. Alot of people dont even know its the same person. Each moniker makes quite different music though. Its pretty cool, BTW im going to see him on Saturday night, that has been on my bucket list for years.
