Hey guys, it's musicbyLukas here, and welcome to another teamMBL video.
Have you guys ever wondered how to come up with the dopest, sickest, most epic DJ name ever? Then this video is for you *giggles*
Now all you have to do is look deep into the camera and ask yourself this question, who am I?
"Who am I?"
Nah, I'm just kidding guys this video is WAY longer than that. Let's break it down for you.
Ten ways to come up with the perfect DJ/producer name. Number 1, keep it simple. You gotta keep your DJ
name simple because it's got to be easily remembered that way people can search you and they can easily find you. That way they can
follow you on Soundcloud, follow you on your other socials, even if they just heard you like on a guest mix or on the radio
they'd be able to just easily find you, know how to spell your name, make it simple. For example Zedd's real name is Anton *Lukas struggling*
and I probably butchered that because it's too complex. "Select wait.. says Lobstey." Zedd knew what he was doing,
he kept it simple. The first letter of Zedd's last name is Z and Z in German is zedd,
So he kept it simple and just went with that and it works. Number 2, use your own name or a variation of your own
name sometimes your own name is just
"I'm cool!"
People get a good connection with it. It feels authentic. It feels real to say it's your real name. For example,
My name is Lukas,
so I went with musicbyLukas because it keeps it simple
And it's a variation on my own name and it tells you what I do, musicbyLukas. For example, Dillon Francis
he went with his real name because his real name sounds super cool and have you ever forgotten the name Dillon Francis before?
"Oh my God, Dillon Francis, how'd you get your DJ name?" "My birth certificate"
He's hard to forget *Dillon Francis being Dillon Francis*
Number 3, use your nickname or stage name. People already know you by it, people already use it, so it works.
And it's probably fun and cool
If someone took the time to make it up for you. For example, Calvin Harris is really Adam Richard Wiles.
Calvin Harris is his stage name everyone knows him by and it's probably a little bit easier than Alvin Richard, Adam Ricord Wiles.
*BUZZ FAIL*
Number 4, search your real name on Google. Sometimes when you search your real name you find out the definition,
what it means. You can also find out what it means in other languages and that can be really cool.
Alright, So what's my DJ name, then?
Well lets Google Lauren. In Latin the meaning of the name is actually of Laurentum.
That could be cool. "Pretty tight." Of Laurentum. "Keep going, can also be interpreted as the English version of the Irish name of Lorcan, meaning fierce."
DJ Fierce *Fierce face*
Number 5, what would you like people to think when they hear your name? Sometimes you just go with the idea of invoking a certain
emotion with their names
They know that when people hear certain words that it makes them feel a certain way, so they go with that. For example,
Madison Mars, the feeling that he's trying to evoke there is he's going with that space,
Future vibe,
using Mars in his name. It also works because it's Madison Mars, two m's back to back so it has a cool sound to it
So when you think Madison Mars, you think of Future House
so it's perfect branding, perfect marketing, perfect name. Number 6, use a genre in your name. This just makes it easy for the listener because
if you use your genre in your name,
they're gonna know immediately
what they're gonna be listening to as soon as they play your song. So, Heldeep is an example of this because they do more
Deep House, so you just know right away
this is gonna be a Deep House label. Number 7, create a duo. So, for example, if your name isn't cool enough by itself
Try adding another name
It could make it really cool. An example of this is maybe your name is Steve, and that's just not very cool,
but if you have a guy named Lucas
And you create Lucas and Steve, now you cool.
Number 8, make sure you ask for feedback from people that know the real you. Ask around and play your music for family,
friends, someone who just met you,
a stranger any different type of people who may interpret you differently. Each person is gonna say an essence that they feel from your music and
an essence that they feel from you, and that might help you come up with your name.
"Alright, you just met me, what's my essence?"
I'm getting a strike vibe, white stripes, NO, the gray stripes! The white stripes is already taken.
*BUZZ FAIL*
And maybe also we could go for DJ Sunburn
*Nods in agreement*
Alright, so Bryan's my brother, so since I know him pretty well, I would say his essence is super cute.
*Faces of uncertainty*
Number 9, some of your favorite things. Maybe a hobby, an interest, or something like that of yours, would make for a good DJ name.
For instance, Deadmau5 wants those mice to be dead, yo. Deadmau5. Number 10, the last and most important rule,
Make sure your name is not already taken. For marketing, branding, and social media reasons you have to have an original name. So before you
finalize your idea, before you go all the way 100 percent with your new name, make sure you check on Google,
you check on Soundcloud, Instagram, and everything and just see if someone already has your name,
so you stay original. And also this will be super helpful because when people search your name
They will find you first, top in the results and they'll be able to follow you right away
And that's it! If you go through those 10 steps,
I'm sure you're gonna come up with a few awesome choices.
And I'm sure the one you choose is going to be lit guys! Almighty litness!
*ALMIGHTY LITNESS*
