Performance Name of a Person
A Performance Name is an alias used by a musician, for either marketing or other reasons. A particular person may have several Performance Names, and might also release material under their LegalName.
For this reason, it's sometimes necessary to create multiple separate artist entries for the same person in the database.
Style
- SameArtistWithDifferentNames contains details about how and when to use PerformanceName
s and LegalNames. - Note that only persons have LegalName
s, not bands.
Examples
- Elvis Costello is the Performance Name of Declan Patrick MacManus. Bono is the Performance Name of Paul David Hewson. Aphex Twin, AFX and Caustic Window are all Performance Names of Richard David James.
