Why do people care so much about what other people think of their artist names? I think it's quite strange that you would let other people decide what it should be to be honest...

It should be something that you personally like and that you can relate to. Done. What other people then think of it is completely irrelevant.
If you would call yourself Muslim Butthole I would think that that's a stupid name, but if you would produce killer tunes, I would still listen to your music. You know what I mean?

It really doesn't matter what you're name is, in the end it's all about the music now isn't it?

Yeah exactly.
Ramadanman is indeed a perfect example of this. When I first saw his name I thought the same, and I still think it's a bit silly. But I really do love the music that he produces and that's what matters.

Cloy: disgust or sicken with an excess of sweetness, richness, or sentiment.

π: is an irrational number, which means the value, cannot be expressed exactly; consequently its decimal representation never ends or repeats.

Cloy Pi: is the acceptance of indulgence or excess of a particular (or multitude of) acts, substances, or vices that we as an individual consciously choose to abuse, even though we know it or hurts or damages ourselves, mentally, physically, and/or emotionally.

I go by the name of The Bro. Been using it for over 10 years. It has nothing to do with brostep though which I think people who don't know me could naively assume lol.
