A great artist name?

David-B · 03-29-2008, 04:58 PM

Hello all, I need your help/suggestions.

I'm beside webdesigning, also messing around with music. Only remixes, at the momemt, but my goal is to start playing and clubs and maybe create my own tracks at some point.
I like most music, but what I'm mixing and mostly into is Dance/Hands up, Trance, House/Electro.

Anyways, I can't seem to find a cool/great sounding artist name, that is easy to pronounce and remember. This is where I hope you guys can help.

Some info:

Full name: David Højgård Bastholm
Age: 19, born may 4, 1988.
Country: Denmark

Dosen't necessary need to have anything with my name in it, and it's commen to use Dj or Deejay in front, but again, not necessary.
Let me know if you need more info.

I've been trying for a long time now, trashed numerous of A4 sheets, where I never got very far.

So, any good suggestions?

Since "Hands up" must be THE best genre-title I have ever heard, I'll suggest "DJ Hands Down" (or maybe DJ Hands to the right if you are feeling experimental)

Hehe yea, I know. The whole Dance/Hands Up society is mostly like that. With names like Junkfood Junkies, Salty Fish, Boyz Boyz Boyz, Bass in Your Face etc.

But most of the music is good, so just something you have to live with and luckily, it's not all that bad

Well, might be a boring suggestion, but...

DaviB?

Or DJ Feets Up :P

Hojholm, sounds exotic and cool, but really just a mix of parts of your name.

DJ Smørrebrød?

DJ dB (your initials and also short for decibel..aha! Brilliant! or?)

David-B · 04-01-2008, 01:27 PM

Hehe, Dj Smørrebrød? Don't think it would sound cool, out loud :P
And Hojholm.. Sounds like I would be mixing Jazz & Opera ; -)
It's hard to find something good, don't wanna be the next Dj bEaTzMaZteR...

Michae · 04-01-2008, 03:00 PM

Well, the point with hojholm was to show you that you can mix parts of your name

David-B · 04-01-2008, 04:13 PM

Ah yea, of course, I also tried doing that, but Hojholm beats everything I came up with, so thanks. And I think the "holm" part could be used in some other way, actually.
Appreciate your help so far
