i'm still struggling with the crisis of feeling like i can't release music under my own name (somebody else with the same name already is) and any pseudonym or "artist name" i can think to use is either also taken or just feels wrong. i know i'm putting the cart before the horse a little because i don't actually have any finished music that's ready to go, but it just feels like a really important thing and i'm kind of lost. i tried thinking about my childhood like you recommended a long time ago but all i came up with is stuff that's already taken. maybe i could just go by my last name but that kinda sucks too...or i could include my middle name or initial but that just seems pretentious. thanks for any ideas
you're on the right track. you'll think of something
