Should I keep my DJ name

J-Lektro 7:36 AM - 9 February, 2016
Hello, just some thoughts on if I should keep my DJ name. My current name is "J-Lektro", I made it when I was 13, I'm 22 now. The only thing that's keeping me from changing it is because I have Google results that literally go back that far on blogs/ discogs/ etc and if I changed my name all those past results would be gone, and, I'd have the trouble of changing everything. I hate that it's close to Jay Electronica's name, I didn't know who he was until a few years back but it sounds somewhat different I guess.

My genre is mainly house music but I'm probably going to branch into other styles of electronic as well.

That's your name if you like it, keep it. If your worried about Jay Electronica that should be your motivation to make your name bigger than his. I changed my DJ name twice in my career. The first one was DJ Mayday when i was a teen and that's cause i made a mixtape that I released in May. The other name was DJ Blendz cause i came out of retirement and needed a name... luckily I settled on a name DJ D-Tweed that has true meaning to me and I'll never change it.

If your name means something Keep It
