Artist Name

When choosing a name for my artist I considered the names existing artists in my genre of pop called themselves. I noticed that most used their own names (Or alter-ego names) such as Gwen Stefani and Cher Lloyd. Genres such as dubstep and house tended not to use their names such as Skrillex or Diplo. This agrees with Dyer’s Star theory that celebrities are created and marketed as products considering Skrillex’s real name is Sonny John Moore.

I decided to conform with the expectations of my genre and considered possible names such as:

Amelia May                Roxanne              Alexa Marie           Kiara Malone

I considered many more and used a name generator for suggestions. In the end I chose the name:

Alexa Marie
