illerill Posted March 31, 2020 Share Posted March 31, 2020 Hey guys, I've been into music back and forth for about 15 years and always gone under the name "illerill". This has a bit of a backstory to it. It comes from"illerrre" which I got when I was 11 and went crazy on the keyboards because I wanted to nick "killer" when gaming. Then a friend called me "illerill" when he heard me rap. Anyway. I haven't released anything new in 5 years but I have some new-found motivation again. I'm thinking of changing artist name for the following reasons: - I don't want to be associated with my old tracks because I don't like them. I'm very critical and judge them hard. - I've heard that I have some similarties with Eminem and he is definitely an inspiration. Our artist names are fairly alike. - illerill says nothing about my music. Generally changing artist name isn't a good idea - or so I've heard and therefore I'm making this post. I want your thoughts on it. Maybe I'm missing something crucial, but I don't know what I have to lose doing it. I don't really have any listeners or followers on facebook, youtube nor spotify. The new name I'm thinking of is "Conflicted Chameleon". It describes me and it's unique with one exception. There's a person on flickr that has this as a username. Does that matter? I really appreciate your thoughts on this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slartabartfast Posted March 31, 2020 Share Posted March 31, 2020 I have recently changed my artist name to Taylor Swift, and find it has had a very positive effect on my career. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulo Posted March 31, 2020 Share Posted March 31, 2020 If nobody has ever heard of you then nobody will know that you changed it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
