Friend of mine recommended I come up with a catchy DJ name so I did that. My mixcloud is under my name currently and I have followers. I can change my display name and keep the old mixcloud url or I can change the mixcloud url to the new DJ name. Not sure what option is best. My Soundcloud I figure just to use my real name as it will be for my own productions. However I don’t want any confusion and of course I want to present myself as a DJ and producer. Any advice? Should I just run with the new DJ name for everything?
It took me awhile to get everything all as the same name. It’s worth it IMO. Originally I had a mish-mash of different usernames across different services. I find it’s much easier for myself to remember - and much easier when I’m telling people that all of my links are whatever site/mydjname across all of them. Mixcloud, Facebook, Twitter, Soundcloud, Mixlr - keeps it simple and looks professional when I get a chance to list them all out.
I’d recommend doing it as soon as possible - get everything the same BEFORE you print business cards
I use to use that. Needed something to reflect my music style so I went with SUB CMDR. So far it seems to have worked. I’ve garnered more interest. What’s in a name? I know, but it seems how a DJ promotes themselves is as important (perhaps even more so) than their actual skills.
You should keep all of your shit the same. Don’t make it hard for people to find you. Picking a name is on you, but don’t have each platform calling you something different.
