Artists take on an alias that's suitable for their style of music. Everyone had a nickname when they were younger.

I thought it was pretty good to be mentioned in a big paper, so I decided to keep the nickname.

I always was fascinated by neat nicknames.

I love nicknames. It makes me feel loved. It makes me feel less alone in this world.

My nickname is The Fonz. My sister Lori nicknamed me it when I was younger and it stuck.

It's interesting, because I named my first album after my dad because I wanted to find him. My second album was named after my mom because I felt like I learned all my creative talents I learned from her. All the survival stuff, too. And then the next album is 'Maya,' which is not my real name. It's fake.

My nickname used to be Moses - still is Moses - for a long time, and people just call me Mo for short.

My stage name is actually my nickname given to me by my dad when I was a baby.

Out of all the R&B artists that have come out, I think my name has been used most in hip-hop songs.

My first rap name was Ralo. Because my first name is Carlos. I likened myself to what Busta Rhymes was doing when he first came out. And what Onyx did when they first came out - they reminded me of me.
