I have a track that needs to be released and was procrastinating because I haven't been able to finalise on an artist name. For some reason, the way you presented this video actually put me in a good mood to brainstorm (again). Thanks. Subbed!

@Daan-oc3yn 6 месяцев назад

I have the same! I have been making music for years, but because I have been thinking of an artist name for years, I have not officially released any music yet. Hopefully I will get one soon:) Good luck

Appreciate this, especially the advice to just stop overthinking it and pick something ha. I've been waiting to release stuff for too long bc I've been indecisive on a name - time to just pick one!

@freshlysunlit Год назад

The indecision loop is exhausting. Just gotta send it! There's no perfect name, but it's the imperfections of life and art that make it all human. You got this mate! 💛

@mcgritty8842 9 месяцев назад

All of this 100%. I just got over this recently. If you don’t just choose a name and release music now, nobody will ever hear your music. We can find anything to procrastinate over

I'm amazed by the video quality for having such a tiny number of followers. Great work and actually helpful. Especially your tip just to pick one 'cause it doesn't really matter that much. At least much less than it does to oneself. I'm struggling at this very moment picking one so your video helped me. Here comes the test: What music do you think someone's making who goes by the name of Jin Rook? :D Have a good one!

@freshlysunlit 2 года назад

Thank you so much Robin! I’m glad it was helpful 😊 Yeah, I really do believe that an artist name doesn’t matter as much as it feels like it does. Hmm, I could see Jin Rook fitting for Indie, Pop, Folk, Electronic, Rap, and maybe even Progressive Metal or Math Rock. It’s a pretty versatile name! I could see it working for a solo artist or band as well.

@cesaresqueleto 5 месяцев назад

Idk how to create my name. For almost two years now I've created abt 200 names and most of them start with Y, cuz I wanted Yung and Youth (and similars) but those are already occupied and idk what to do. I want a name that starts with Y (bc it stands for Young) and is related to skateboard. I will play indie rock and produce some beats. Any ideas? Nice vid btw! P.D: Just found that I'm the 100th comment :))

@freshlysunlit 5 месяцев назад

Woo for being the 100th comment!! 🎉 200 names is a lot! You've really gone through a lot of ideas. It's challenging finding names that aren't already taken. How about something like "Yskate"? Or maybe combine different words that start with Y with the word skateboard or things associated with skating. Maybe even a random word generator or Chat GPT could help get some more ideas flowing. Best of luck mate!

@AD-kq3yk Год назад

I honestly can’t decide if I should use my nickname I’ve had for years that many people have used, or just some random name no one has used.

@freshlysunlit Год назад

From a marketability and longterm standpoint I'd consider going with the name no one has used. But if you really like your nickname I'm sure you can make it work!

Do you think Ana Mars is a good artist name? Ana is my first name and Mars is just something I added when I was little. I'm trying to think of something else but I don't really know what else. The problem is so many people already use "Mars" so idk

@freshlysunlit 2 года назад

Ana Mars is a wonderful artist name! There's a ton of people who have "freshly" or "sunlit" in their artist name, but no one has both except me 😌 And it looks like it's the same with Ana Mars-some people have Ana or Mars, but you'd be the first to put them together! If the name feels right to you, I'd just go for it! Best of luck to you Ana 💛

So what if you like music. Abstract art that you are trying to do? How does those two fit into one? How would I go about doing a nevermind I probably have no talent. So I try hard don't know if I am good or not but f*** it I don't care. As long as you're enjoying what you do. Yay😮🎉🎉🎉😂❤❤❤ good video. I thought I wanted to write poetry and songs but I don't know I don't know I'm not that who would tell me anyway. Have a beautiful day😢😢😢😮😊

@freshlysunlit 5 месяцев назад

Abstract art and music can totally go together! if you have an interest whatsoever in trying out writing songs or poetry give it a go! It can take some time to get the hang of a new skill, but you'll know sooner than later if you have a knack for it or if you enjoy it and wanna keep doing it!
