did anyone use Spotify via distributor and checked if you can also use a fake/artist name and not the real name?

thx

Look up some songs written by Robert Allen Zimmerman on Spotify.
Does that answer the question?

And if you search on Wikipedia for that name?

Is he on Spotify?
Sorry, cannot check myself, since I don't use any streaming service.

if he's not, is david bowie on there?
or im sure there are many people in the genre you work in that don't use their birth name.

you can usually fill in an artist name or band name, then your real name in the contact and payment, ie my real name (believe it or not) isn't vurt

I'm going to change my name to Various Artists so I will always be on the charts and will always be paid royalties.
