DAVID BOWIE/ZIGGY STARDUST – Ziggy appeared in David`s life as a character who literally “fell from Mars” as a part of “The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders From Mars” album. Ziggy set Bowie`s path for future projects and he was his Martian Messaih and at the same time a very simple character that destroyed himself in the end. Since 1972, Bowie completely took over Ziggy and started introducing himself with him name in all shows. He even called his band The Spiders From Mars. He commented: -It was very easy to become obsessed with the character day and night. I became Ziggy Stardust. David Bowie went through the window.

      BEYONCE/SASHA – Beyonce Knowles has always been the shy one in the lines of Destiny`s Child, according to her, but when Sasha came on the scene, everything changed and she now no longer has problems ruling the world stages. Beyonce claims that she has always held back in Destiny`s Child because she did not feel the need stand apart from the group, but sash helped her realise she was capable of singing everything – from rap to rock and they have been inseparable since. Therefore, if you find yourself at a concert of hers, make sure you know who is actually singing.

      PRINCE/THE ARTIST FORMERLY KNOWN AS PRINCE – Prince proved to be the smartest user of an alias in the entire matter. During his legal battle with Warner Bros in 1994, Prince realised that he can set himself free of the large company`s shackles only if he frees himself of his name. thus, in stead of his actual name, he chose an unpronounceable symbol and he was addressed as The Artist Formerly Known As Prince, or simply The Artist. He returned to his old name Prince in 2000 when his Warner-Chappell contract expired.

      SEAN COMBS/PUFF DADDY/P.DIDDY/DIDDY/PUFFY – Evident from the stated above, Sean Combs has changed a whole bunch of nick-names and artistic names and according to his unpredictable behaviour, probably several alternative personas have “moved into” Puffy`s head. At the start of the new millennium, he decided to change his name from Puff Daddy to P. Diddy, to take on the name Diddy. But then he got a law-suit by the English performer Richard “Diddy” Dearlove. They stoke a deal and his album “Press Play” was released in America under the name Diddy, while the British release had the name P.Diddy.

      JENNIFER LOPEZ / J. LO – In the case of, according to some, the most beautiful backside in the world, her alter ego came as a nick-name, to turn her into a world diva of unbelievable demands. And when the whole matter became too blown up, Jenn literally renounced it. After using the fruition of her J. Lo style, mean, serious street-style, she decided to return to her feminine side, i.e. her real name and surname, in order to head in a softer music and a more decent personal direction. She even said on one occasion for The Sun that her alter ego was supposed to have been nice and likeable, but it had gone mad and out of control.

      EMINEM/SLIM SHADY – When world-famous “whitey” Eminem gets mad, then Slim Shady starts talking – a character whom Mr. Marshall Mather identifies with on “The Marshall Mathers LP” album. He disses his mother and celebrities as well., openly saying that he would like to kill his wife. Some are then angry with him and threaten with law-suits, while the rest of the already sick world has so much fun. The bottom line is, if anyone asks Eminem what he was thinking when he wrote lyrics like that, he can simply blame it on Slim Shady.

      MARY J. BLIGE/BROOK – Mary decided on the Brook alter ego during the making of her rougher and more rap-style album “The Breakthrough”, to protect her more tender persona under the name Mary J.Blige. Thus, Brook is featured on Busta Rhymes` song, wears golden earrings, is blatant and rude, while Mary J. Blige remains to be the withdrawn and calm singer. Who knows how the two of them are getting along far from their professional lives...

      RICHARD D. JAMES/APHEX TWIN/POLYGON WINDOW/AFX/Q-CHASTIC…: Imaginative Richard, most famous under the name Aphex Twin, used dozens of artistic names throughout his career, but until this day, he has made friends with Aphex and Polygon Window most, although the rumour is that he is probably behind the Tuss project. Richard said that he first liked the idea of giving different names to different record labels, but today when every label has dozens of sub-labels, depending on the music genre, his music has splintered up into so much different bits– and he no longer likes it.

      JIM MORRISON/LIZARD KING – Psychedelic Jim Morrison studied occultism and shamanism and seeing how shamans often identified themselves with a divinity, usually an animal, Morrison embraced a lizard, claiming it represents a powerful force of the sub-conscious, longing and fear of the psyche. Therefore, Morrison did not use it to fence himself from something or solve an legal disputes, but he let go to his fantasies, guided by Philosophies of Jung and Nietzsche and dreams of nirvana where the right light will come through its latent subconscious mind, under the reins of the great lizard, himself actually.

      CHRISTINA AGUILERA/BABY JANE/XTINA – She started out as an “innocent” teen, singing of things like genies in a bottle, in order to go on as a mean and hip Xtina, to get into small jazz clubs throughout America, which she went round under the nick-name Baby Jane. Jane differs from Xtina according to her distinct courtesy, elegance and a different approach to music. It was high time…
