artist name

Performer's chosen moniker

An artist name is the professional name or pseudonym a performer uses instead of or alongside their legal name.

Musicians, visual artists, and other creatives adopt artist names for branding, privacy, or creative identity: She performs under the artist name Doja Cat.

Also called a stage name or nom de plume depending on the field.
