Artist Name

When planning the name of my artist, I did not want to just use my actress' full name; 'Lucy Thompson' as I felt this was plain and did not really stand out for a music artist. Therefore I immediately began to research names.

As my artist is of the indie genre, I decided to research into existing indie female solo artist's and name ideas of that genre, to gain inspiration of what I could name my artist. I researched through search engines and found that many of the existing artists' names were the artists first name and some included their middle name also.

As the actress of my music video is also the singer of my song that I am using, I wanted to keep the artist's name real and as true as possible to her, therefore I was inspired to use her first name and middle name, 'Lucy Mae', this sounds a lot more appealing to me than her full name 'Lucy Thompson' which does not really sound catchy, and I also did not just want to use her first name 'Lucy', as there are many other artists named Lucy in the music industry and I wanted to be original.

Consequently, I decided on the name 'Lucy Mae' as I feel the name fits my music video and the indie genre perfectly and there is no one else in the music industry with that name.
