Hey /adv, I have a stupid question. I make music since a few years but recently I starded to release some tunes on a label and being played on the radio.
Problem is my name start with a simplification of Head to Hed and ppl make typos nearly everyday.
It's Hedxxxxx and they write Headxxxxxx
>On the posters in town there's typos.
>On the mastering the sound engineering send back there's typos.
>On the internet articles there's typos.
>On soundcloud previews the label guys upload there's typos.
Do you think changing name would be relevant ? I'm not a native english speaker so I have troubles making up my mind.
PS:I'm not a big artist I am newfag semi-pro

It's not too late to change your name.
Are there any other musicians just called Hed? Why don't you just go by that? or maybe just one x.

The x are for letters that I don't want to write for privacy reasons.
Imagine my name is something like HedHunter and ppl write HeadHunter

Never heard of Hed Kandi? Huge dance/disco label.

Funny because that's pretty much what I'm doing.
Well I guess it isn't that uncommon.
So Hedbangz doesn't sound weird ? I think ppl make the typo because they are confused because of the word Headbang

I mean, it sounds about as normal as deadmau5. Your name even has all letters instead of numbers. So not really that out there. If you're that worried you can change your name, otherwise accept that if it sounds like a certain word, there will likely always be people who spell it that way. It does seem like you have the problem of it being misspelled multiple places though, which is probably just leading to more misspellings as people copy it.

Thx I'll just keep it this way and let ppl write what they want. It's better now that I know it's not because it's something impossible in English.
They're gonna get used to it one day haha
now we can let this thread die
