hello guys,
I've been making music since 2013 but have gotten around to releasing only a couple tracks in the past 2 years. Lately, though, I've noticed (by googling it) that there are quite a few brands (even founded after I chose and used my name online...) using it.
There's this clothing brand, a drug brand, a lounge bar, a radio station and few others, a few of them are actually "serious" in terms of trademarking and stuff like that, one of them has even bought the .com handle.
Now I really need to choose if I have to change my name, to avoid branding issues in the future, (other than the embarassment of seeing sunglasses with my producer name branding carved on it, which makes me cringe) even though none of em are musicians/producers/djs.
It's pretty frustrating because I've been producing for years and I've been waiting for my productions to get to a decent level to be published and all and just lately I've found out about this "branding problem" which is holding me from releasing stuff.
If there are any managers, or people working in the industry that can help me with that I'd love to speak to someone (even in pvt) and get some advice for the best of my career, and I'd be so grateful, thank you!
p.s.: no, I'm thinking all day but I can't seem to find a nice name that I like, or has a meaning like my old one :/
