- Person
Additional information and examples
Note that for the same person, there may be several different artist entries in the database, with different artist names - this usually happens when a person uses different performance names:
- Kieran Hebden (of type person) performs as Four Tet (of type person)
The members of a group are indicated with the member of band relationship type, if the group represents a band, and the participants of a short-term collaboration are indicated with the collaboration relationship type:
- Ringo Starr (of type person) was a member of The Beatles (of type group)
- Kieran Hebden (of type person) collaborated on Kieran Hebden & Steve Reid (of type group)
In the case of a collaboration, the "members" can also be other groups. See for example:
- Band Aid (of type group)
- Queen & David Bowie (of type group)
The type of an artist can be modified by using the "Edit artist" link.
Finally, note that special purpose artists (Various Artists, Unknown Artist, No Artist, etc.), being neither groups or persons, are of type "other".
