We have been thinking about a "stage" name (Jay-Z, Madonna, Alicia Keys, John Legend, etc..) recently and if there is some level of an unspoken standard requiring artist to develop and use a stage name. Nearly every major artist from hip-hop, R&B, House, and even Country music has a stage names. Some names aren't so far from their real name but apparently their A&R did not feel as if their birth name would sell records.
Having a stage name adds a degree of mystery and detachment from your normal reality. With the right stage name your sales could boost because it is catchy, interesting, and relates to the music you put out. We believe a stage name is an important piece of developing a brand and image with your fans. It should be something people want to hear and when they hear it they instantly know what to expect.
At the same time, what's wrong with Chuck Anderson? (???)
We will keep the wheels spinning about this one. We have semi-selected a name and posted it on our website but we are not totally convinced a stage name is the route we most favor.
Stay Tuned and Good Night!
