About Artist Names

The name you enter here will be used to link this profile to shows and to related (past & present) band / artistic ensemble profiles. As this is the data used to identify you in our database, please use your real name for this field. If you want to enter a stage name, use the field provided underneath. You may then elect to display your real name or your stage name.
If you have several stage names / aliases, please contact us so that we can ensure that they all point to your profile.

Please note that once the profile is linked, only an administrator will be able to edit your real name.

This safety feature is in place to prevent damage to linked show listings, which in turn affects the archived data belonging to other users of our system.

We may also be able to enter aliases for your name, so that you may still be linked or found in our directories when searched or listed by common mispellings, for instance. An alias can also save you time if you enter many shows into our system. An example is "LMV" for Live Music Vancouver. Please contact us to see how we may be able to help you.
