A lot of times musicians change their names so it sounds better or some agent told them their real name would take them very far. Hey even in the world of radio a on-air personality changes their name. It's kind of like a split personality. I thought it would be fun to share a list of musicians and their real names. Some stay close to their given names while others go an entirely different direction.
