My name so "normal" for being a solois artist name?

[TheComposer]

Hello, my name? Alberto Palacios

Probably for you, guys who speak english, is not that common, I don't know, anyway, I play prog metal in English I must say, but when I googled my name I found a lot of people with my same name, from other musicians (like electronic, dance, house), to even normal, random guys.

Question is, do you think it's a good idea to "adopt" another name like some artists do? I like my name, the idea of an English name isn't my favourite (Albert Palace, lol), I like my name, but don't know what you guys think?

Guitar player by the way!!

What about "Concerto Alb Cious-Pala" A Classical reference, however contains your whole name.

 

[Justsomeguy]

Alberto Palacios instantly says to me "prog metal guitarist". i like it

just my 2 cents

 

[moresound]

I wounder if Eddie Van Halen had these same thoughts?

 

[TheComposer]

Well I guess I can keep my name after all.

I really liked the "Concerto Alb Cious-Pala" wilki82recuk, great idea, and I'll definitely use it for some project, thanks man!!

I guess there must be more than 1 Eddie Van Halen in the world lol, probably the same with the Petruccis, Satrianis, etc, etc.

So I guess I'll be getting a cheque when you sell your millions, as for naming rights. ha ha ha only kidding you. You go do your music thing.

Oh, you're lucky.
My name? Sunny Singh.
Google that shit.
You'll end up with all kinds of really tan, turbaned creatures, women, and even some weird spikey hair looking guys.


It might be time to adopt a stage name.

 

[JimmyS1969]

My stage name is Jizm. Google that! lol! It is a silent 'z', but nothing cool comes from that Google.

Love the new sig quote!

Well what about 'Sunny And The Singhers'?

Dood, be nice man. That is not a very rock n roll name.

 

[kidkage]

lol @ 'sunny and the singhers'
fuck my name. And the stereotypes that are probably attached to it.
Maybe I'll just pull a Skrillex (who's real name -oddly enough- is also Sonny from what I hear) type move and call myself my band name, Monolith ?
Like Marilyn Manson. And Alice Cooper.

On the topics of names and TOOL. Adam Jones is a pretty common name. And there's like 4 'famous' Adam Jones' so. That must suck. I guess I just have to begin a journey to prove myself as THE Sunny Singh
It begins now. or. later.

 

[kidkage]

btw to OP. Your name is pretty epic for a musician.
"I'm here interviewing Alberto Palacios from the band 'The Band'"

im loling at this too hard right now.
It made me think of this

 

[SteveAlton]

Since I am giving you the name, you can honestly say it was given to you by one of your legion of fans.

How about: Prince Albert

 

[VomitHatSteve]

Steve Smith.

I've only ever tried to promote my music under band names. I don't want to compete with fricken' Red Green for search rankings.

If you're doing prog metal, I'd say don't try to promote by your name until you've gotten a significant following. People still listen to metal bands. Pick a cool band name, even if it's just you for now.
