Green's always a good start

Make sure you include 'official' in your SC name though so you sound legit

1. Totally come up with a good name, far far more important than the quality of your music.

2. Use a lot of x's, but make sure you start with at least one uppercase and one lowercase.

3. Pick a color, but not a primary color, too obvious, pick a secondary color, like purple, green or orange.

4. Put a number at the end of your name. Any number will do, but a two digit number is probably best.

There are no numbers attached - it's just shuffling black masses...
and after the masses shuffle - I have to then attach the numbers back...

So just do the same thing - but instead of attaching numbers - attach words...
after the masses have shuffled...

Just be sure to pick the word that you see at the bottom and not the one on top...
Unless you want to do more work...

Deadmau5 got his name from a mouse that died in his computer, but I don't have a dead mouse to stuff in my computer :| Does it matter what the name is as long as you make good music or will having a random name effect you in any negative ways? Cheers :D!
I think that when choosing a name for yourself its important to have some thing original sounding and memorable for obvious reasons, for example you need a name that, when typed into google search, does not come up with 2,000 choices to choose from :a: . Also, the more original the name, the better not to get confused with other artist/producers.

An idea for creating a name would be for example....a phrase or saying, but then change the spelling, grammar or even a whole word. Also rhyming is good too, it makes the name more catchy and memorable in my opinion.

Any way im rambling on.....i wish you all the best with it :Q:
