I'm a Beatmaker: The Advantages and Disadvantages of Using Different Artist Names

Advantages

• Showcasing diversity: Allows you to release music under different genres and styles.
• Risk management: Minimizes the impact of poorly received works.
• Easier collaborations: Helps smoothen partnerships with other artists.

Disadvantages

• Split recognition: Harder for overall name recognition to grow.
• More management effort: Increased workload with social media and promotion.
• Possible fan confusion: Some may not realize it’s the same person.

The decision depends on your musical direction and strategy. If you can express diversity under one name, there’s no need to split, but if you want to clearly convey separate concepts, using different names can be effective.
