Basically, I’ve been using the same artist name since 2018. I’m no one famous by any means but there is traction. Some dude just popped up this past year going by the same name.
I know this happens sometimes but here’s the part that irritates me. We’ve spoken before. He had the handle I wanted online and I reached out about swapping handles/purchasing his. At that time, he was doing photography and wasn’t doing music at all. When that didn’t work out for him, apparently he decided to do music…under the same name… knowing I’m a musician using that name currently.
My initial though was to ignore it until he gave up but I’m starting to get tagged bc people are confusing us….
Sorry if this is the wrong sub I just do not know how to proceed. Thanks

David Jones changed his last name to Bowie because he didn't want to be confused with Davy Jones from the Monkees.
Think of it as a chance to come up with a super cool name. Might I suggest Stevie Eagle.
But in all seriousness can you add a middle initial? Like mary j blige
