[HELP!] DJ Name
[HELP!] DJ Name Posted on: 25.11.2012 by Cortney Chanson Hello everyone! I'm new to this whole scene, just got my Traktor Kontrol S4 and have been spending all my time on it. I am more than ready to be a DJ and i know it will take a long time before i can call myself a "real DJ" but i believe in myself ! I have already faced the problem (which i'm sure all of you also had) about the name i'm gonna go as.Should it be my real name? My first name? My dogs name? I can't decide... and i have asked everyone i know and they can't give me a straight answer either... So this is why i come to ask you guys First i should say a little about myself.. My real name is Anton Sherar. I'm 16 (startin out young! ). I'm from Copenhagen, Denmark. I love listening to and playing different genres. But mostly oldschool and underground hiphop, electronic, lounge, funk & disco. You could say i play anything but the mainstream pop music (no disrespect!). I love candy, food and dogs. Don't know what more to say... i would really appreciate if you guys could help me believe of a name that doesn't sound generic or corny, but still is original. Thanks in advance | |

Use your own name - nevertheless, if you really want one, but neither you nor your friends (who actually know your loves, your hates, your foibles and your peculiarities) can come up with a DJ name, then an internet community isn't the best place to ask. There are cool words in a dictionary, go and look at one. There are cool words in the books you like, the films you watch, the music you listen to. If you can't come up with a name for yourself, give up. Seriously. You are creatively bankrupt. - you don't need a logo unless you're about to release music on a big label and the label ask you for one, or if you're about to play at a massive venue and the venue ask for one for a flyer. If you have a webcast or website similar, you might consider a nice font for your nice DJ name. That's it. If I'd followed these rules then I wouldn't now be lumbered with -lethal_pizzle- x |
| Georgiann Bayze 29.11.2012 | I'm in the same situation, I have been told my dj name isnt that great and I havent been that proud of it, I am looking to change it, My name is Harrison and I mix Electro/Progressive House, could anyone help me please? |
| Margie Pavell 28.11.2012 | I dont believe Mau5 big ass head counts as a logo. |
| Cortney Chanson 28.11.2012 | Haha well i'm sorry you feel that way. I just like to believe about all the posibilities in the future... even small things such as logos. And lots of DJ's have logos! Look at deadmau5 for example! I know he's also a producer, but who knows what i might also become? I'm a very optimistic person and I do believe i can get far I'm just a logo nerd haha |

| Margie Pavell 28.11.2012 | just don't start a "I need help with a logo" thread next |
| Cortney Chanson 28.11.2012 | Thank you all for the replies! I'm pretty sure it's settled. I'm gonna go with Ant Sherar! It would also be a cool logo (somethin with an ant haha ) and i know that i shouldnt believe about that before i even played at a gig, i just like to have the basic things down first. |
| Vernie Kuam 28.11.2012 | DJ Five dolla holla! but for real, "Sherara" sounds mature (and it is versatile). |

| Latoria Kavulich 28.11.2012 | Get some parties under your belt before printing out business Cards |
| Romelia Stankard 27.11.2012 | It's really not that important... |
| Joetta Zhuk 27.11.2012 | Your alan shearer idea made me come up with the following: Michael Loudrup (Or Brian if you prefer that) The Sandman (from Hans Christian Andersen) |
| Janyce Henningson 27.11.2012 | Shergar? Alan Shearer? Anton Dubeke? |
| Era Roka 27.11.2012 | I would chose something like Sherarton |

Also to note is that sherar means a sheep shearer which is a person who cuts sheep... any ideas? |
| Ned Somerset 26.11.2012 | There really should be a sticky somewhere saying what post are not allowed. DJ name recommendations, Which controller to buy, this controller vs this completely different controller, Which computer is DA best etc etc. Seeing the same threads every single day does nothing to contribute to this community. Everytime I see a "help me pick a dj name" thread, i know before I even open it, its just going to be a big circlejerk. DJTT almost needs a beginners sub community . A place where all the new guys can brainstorm superstar dj names, Put random controllers against each other, where to find free dubsteps and get all da bitches. I know its hard when you first stumble onto djtt to understand what flys and what doesn't. Quite a bit of lurking should be a prerequisite to being able to post. Lurking long enough, you should be able to pick up the dildos and the dildon'ts. /rant |
| Chong Mine 26.11.2012 | Peado McGee Daddy Issues Balls2Chin Any good? If not, ive got a few others up my sleeve. |
| Emerson Crist 25.11.2012 | Try an anagram of your actual name, or a different spelling of you name. I go by the name, Jay Vacaro. Jay is a nickname I got when I was 14, and Vacaro is an alternate version of my last name. Just search google for an alternate version of you last name, you might be surprised. |
| Stanley Topoleski 25.11.2012 | your real name is fine or even just "sherar" |

| Margie Pavell 25.11.2012 | I'm already "Li'l Ruxpin"...so scratch that one off your list immediately... Anton Sherar is a cool ass name by itself...i go by my real first name and the first part of my last name... |
| Desirae Paiva 25.11.2012 | I believe you are over believeing the whole naming process. Your name shouldn't be so forced. Take some time to reflect on it, let it come naturally through time. Your name should be revealing about you and your style to a certain degree. Your name becomes your second personality essentially. As for a couple of tips, if you plan to take the whole DJ thing to the next level, I suggest selecting a more mature name. DJ Funkdizzle or DJ Peanut Butter doesn't necessarily ring "mature" in my mind. Go for something timeless. Not sure what other advice to give you. Your name has to come from you and only you. No one else can give you the answer to that question. Also, props to you for your confidence. I wish you much luck! |
