Set a nickname

Show up as your artist name on comments, chat and your profile, while contracts keep your legal name.

Most artists don't release under their passport name. A nickname replaces your real name wherever other people see you: comments, chat, mentions, member lists, notifications and your public profile. Contracts, splits, signing and tax always use your real name.

Set it

  1. Open Account. The Nickname field sits with your name.
  2. Type one, or tap one of your acts to use its name.
  3. Save. A line under the field shows what everyone else will see.

Quicker ways in: right-click your own name on a comment and pick Set a nickname (or Change nickname), or use the pencil beside your name on your own public profile. When you create a team, you can take its name as your nickname on the same step.

Change or clear it

Clear the field to bring your real name back everywhere. Old comments follow your current nickname, so renaming yourself renames every comment you have left.

A nickname can't match a team on Aden that you are not part of. If you are in that act, ask them to add you to the team. Two people can share a nickname; only acts are protected.
