I Need to come up with a DJ Name! :)
I Need to come up with a DJ Name! :) Posted on: 26.05.2012 by Antoinette Bradshaw Hey guys...Weve all gone through this tedious, annoying, hard stage in our dj career...and ive decided "What better way to suffer the pain of finding a Dj Name but with my friends at DJTT's" Care to help me out? Names ive thought of so far: HausMusicHater (House-Music-Hater): Even tho i love house music and all my mixes would be house/electro *Update* DaaronAvid: Thanks to Ed Paris! | |
Marti Virkler 26.05.2012 | Daaron A'Vid is pretty amazing, it's got my vote. |

Romelia Stankard 26.05.2012 | I believe this is the first time I've seen a DJ name thread not completely disintegrate. Better make a decision and quit while you're ahead here. |
Antoinette Bradshaw 26.05.2012 | Join the thread! |
Marti Virkler 26.05.2012 | This really makes me want to make my own dj name lol. |

Antoinette Bradshaw 26.05.2012 | Thats true! i Like Daaron Avid! i believe ive found my new Djing Name! YAY! Hey Ed Paris? Who Made your logo? |
Matt Kane 26.05.2012 | no "dj" and space between the names! like i already said daaron avid is cool but you still could always go with your real name. |
Antoinette Bradshaw 26.05.2012 | lol whhaaaaaat? |
Phyliss Katsikis 27.05.2012 | DJ O{+> |
Antoinette Bradshaw 27.05.2012 | Im also really liking this DaaronAvid/ Daaron Avid name! Only reason im consider DaaronAvid is because all my usernames will have it put together like that |

Antoinette Bradshaw 27.05.2012 | If i put a space between DaaronAvid, then when you google it (Sorry i keep bringing up the G word ) you get 4Million somewhat hits, plus its taken by some guy named Daron Avid (with one a) |

It's all word of mouth, and first and foremost knowing people. I'll give you an example: a guy I know (he played at a couple of illegal open-air parties some friends and me were organizing in Berlin last year) started gigging in fall 2010. When he played at our parties last year he was already quite on the rise in the Berlin scene just because he knew many of the people even before he had started gigging (he's a good DJ as well, but that's not the primary reason he got booked so much). He already played 2 or 3 gigs a week at fairly renown clubs in Berlin. And the last couple of months he has gone through the roof completely - playing even more gigs in even better clubs in Berlin (even my favourite club of all: kater holzig, the successor of the infamous Bar25) and has loads of international bookings as well (according to his gigatools-page). Did any of that depend on his publicity on the internet? I don't believe so - it's really more about meeting people out in the real world. |

Antoinette Bradshaw 27.05.2012 | Now the real question! What do u guys like better: DJ DaaronAvid or DaaronAvid |
Antoinette Bradshaw 27.05.2012 | Thats true Jason never though about it that way |
Georgina Schatzman 26.05.2012 | There's more to gaining publicity than Google. Posting links to work and mixes on here and other sites for example, people actually searching on Beatport, posting links to a direct artist page and so on. |

You can always pass out cards with a URL for your page (maybe a Facebook profile or fanpage is the most sensible approach) and with enough interaction there you will rise in google's ranks. edit: Oh, and seriously, put a space between Daaron and Avid. Looks way better |
Antoinette Bradshaw 26.05.2012 | I updated the Original Post |
Antoinette Bradshaw 26.05.2012 | Google came up with 0 Results for DaaronAvid ! I know that aspect of pubilicity, im just wondering how he gets people to find him through the internet? Like when i google Jason Bay i just get a baseball player |
Celestine Porebski 26.05.2012 | By playing gigs? Or releasing music? Oh, and what Mr. Paris said. Nice one. |
Matt Kane 26.05.2012 | how about daaron avid? it |
Antoinette Bradshaw 26.05.2012 | Hmm, respectable... But how do u gain pubilicity? |
Georgina Schatzman 26.05.2012 | Well, look at me. My first name is Jason and I took "Bay" after Green Bay (I live in Milwaukee, but Green Bay is still a significant city in WI as a whole). I was also debating "Shed" after the Shedd Aquarium in Chicago since I spend a lot of time there as it is. |
Antoinette Bradshaw 26.05.2012 | Like when i google HausMusicHater, 2 results come up. So when i establish my self, all thats gunna show up on google are only my posts and stuff like Soundcloud, Twitter, Facebook etc |
Georgina Schatzman 26.05.2012 | But if they can't even spell it, pronounce it or remember it because it's not even a name then that's not helping the cause |
Antoinette Bradshaw 26.05.2012 | Example? Like AaronCnTower? haha |
Antoinette Bradshaw 26.05.2012 | Im Looking for a unique name thats not really wide spread |
Georgina Schatzman 26.05.2012 | Or stick with your first name and find something significant in your city to use as your last (A famous/important street, land mark, building and so on) |
Antoinette Bradshaw 26.05.2012 | i Googled Aaron David.... came up with 700k results... i Googled DJaarondavid...came up with 4Million results haha Its already taken |
