Maybe less for an artists name, but it's an awesome method to name tracks

that's a pretty good idea

i'm using my first initial and middle name because it was my signature. people that know me call me by first,middle or last name depending. my wife, friends and most people including my mom call me by an alias.

i got mine when i moved to pgh... because i was from new jersey everyone called me ryan from new jersey which got shortened to jersey... and being a south jersey boy, we all refer to new jersey as dirty jersy.... i just kinda mad eit more me and ended up DURTY JERZY, but now i live in th euk and there are alot of polish here and jerzy is polish for jerry (i think)

I go by Trifecta as my dubstep alias because it sounds similar to other artists in my genre, in my opinion that is important.
If some sees that DJ Headhunterz is playing at a party they know they can expect hardstyle for example.
And I also think Trifecta just sounds awesome in general.

Oh and almost forgot I saw it somewhere in Red dead redemption back in the day when I still played a lot of xbox and it stuck with me. That's where I got it from.


Another tip on how you could find your name is writing down a couple of names of artists you like, search for a pattern and make your own that fits in that pattern and voila a name that says "hey I spin this genre, if you like it too come and check me out"

For example:

-Benga
-Koala
-Mala
-Lurka
-Synja
-Matta
-Kotcha
-Hatcha
-Nerva
-Stagga
-Skamma

Seems like the sound with an "a" at the end is quite popular in my genre and Trifecta fit perfectly, surely you could find something like this in your genre too

EDIT: And I go by Royale & Cheese as my more dnb, electro, hip hop, house,... alias. Together with a mate of course

i used to go by puzzlepieces, now i just go by my real name. how about vibrochamp? i just looked at my guitar amp and it's a fender vibrochamp, seems like it could make a good name?

but why? may be it suits you or is better for your luck. what you think?

[Tommi Bass]

Tommi Bass is inspired from Mr Tommy Bass ..............

This Guy...

He only produced a few tracks, this one is a reall thumper. I was so, so impressed with this artist I wanted to pay homage to him also I thought his name was ultra kool.

My other Producer/Artist moniker is Mokujin this is for when I release U.K Garage.Mokujin in the Tekken series is able to change fighting style (U.K Garage is a mixture of many genres) so I thought Mokujin was a good choice. Also he can get wood. :-)

Drop the bass you must. Or consume you, the dark side will.
