They are given fake names and identities in the platform in a deliberate intent to mislead the audience, deprive the real author of credit, and hide the real source of the work the major record labels. “Fake artist” is a generous term.
- RandallBrown 2y agoLots of artists use "fake" names and don't write their music. Occasionally they don't even perform it.
- pxoe 2y agowhat is an artist name, alias, etc. if not a fake name? should people be forced to put their government id name on display to be deemed real artists? there are some genres in which making up artist names, even just for a one-off release, is almost the point and part of the fun of making music. should artists be forced to release music under one name exclusively as well?
- diggan 2y agoIndeed, ghost writing/producing being so popular in the ecosystem that if a "Real-name mandate" happened over-night, much of the industry would be in shambles as people realize most superstars don't write and/or produce their own music.
- pxoe 2y agothey can look up credits of any given song right now and realize that literally everybody involved in music making has some sort of made up name, be they a singer, songwriter, producer, engineer, or whomever. like, spotify has a credits button. it's not really a revelation.
