Musical Monikers
Musical Monikers
View groupWhen musicians land big fame, there typically comes a moment of reinvention in which the 'Rock Star' identity is born. This new persona often requires a new name, a way to differentiate between the private and public versions of themselves. Musical monikers take different forms, from the simple, one-word name—like Madonna—to the glamorized version of a childhood nickname—like Jay-Z. As artists change and grow, these nicknames begin to represent a new self, as full of personality as the artist it represents.
