The android "Stage fright" bug was going around, and I wanted to make a new account to top the charts. It worked.

I had the idea for Apollo long before I knew about Audiotool...
At first, when I was younger, an elementary school friend of mine (we weren't really friends) was really into Greek mythology, and some of it rubbed off on me. With a little bit of research, I found that Apollo wasn't only the Greek god of the sky but also of music. Then, I also had this weird yearning to read through the dictionary or thesaurus because I really liked words, (idk why). But in scanning through the thesaurus one day I came across this word I hadn't seen before "euphoria" having one of the synonyms of "well-being". And then, a little later on, (after being inspired to make music after watching C418's seminar from Minecon 2012) I put the two together
Apollo Euphoria.

(tl;dr) I suppose, in other words:
"The god of music gives good feels" lol
Sorry for boring you. xb

And yeah, this new board thing is the stuff.
With a little bit of tweaking, it could be really fun c;

some kid was sweeping on a basketball court, and after each shot, he would clap his hands together and say "voodoo magic!" so I adopted it into vudumagic, then vudu. Only after did I learn that there's a video streaming service named vudu. Not connected in any way.

So I use to play online games and I never wanted ppl to know my real name, so I just went by nerd. But then more people started using that and I wanted a unique name for whenever I start my own youtube channel. So I thought why not combine nerd with my favoirite thing in the world French Fries. So I started Going by Nerd Fryz

2017-06-16 02:45 · 2017-06-16

I was always told I have a unique "aura" growing up. That's where aura came from lol. Budushcheye is Russian for "future" and my fav genre at the time was future bass. And Flower is just bc flowers are great.

2017-06-16 09:15 · 2017-06-16

I ntoiced a lot of people use their real names or something close to it, others who don't sometimes wish they had so i went with Cal. The second name is an old greek island name derivative, an island of wolves. It featurea in greek mythology too.
On top of this, a lot of artiats names have either 2 or 3 syllables. This ticked the boxes.

2017-06-16 17:10 · 2017-06-16

I wanted something interesting. I decided i wanted symbols to spell out something. Since i was on a new account i decided on rookie. So rook (from chess) symbol + E symbol = rookie

2017-06-16 17:25 · 2017-06-16

I once thought gray as a colour suited me. So I mashed my name with it.

2017-06-16 18:01 · 2017-06-16

i saw an AUX cable, so i thought aux, then synthonix had onix, so i used "ilor" and then i was auxilor

Contrast how did you come up with yours??

2017-06-17 01:48 · 2017-06-17

@reyann I chose contrast because I wanted to make music that contrasted from the stuff I was making before

2017-06-17 21:31 · 2017-06-17

i made my name scrolls because i scroll through the web alot XD so i thought let me call my self scrolls (and i thought it sounded cool)

2017-06-18 00:10 · 2017-06-18

basically it has to do with my real name but I cant say how because I dont feel like it rn. I honestly forget what my first username was but then it was Zimby after that but it sounds stupid. So like rai I did that thing where you make your name 3 letters and now its ZIM.

2017-06-19 08:22 · 2017-06-19

Once upon a time I was an author. I had a book series, called Stuck, and the protagonist, modeled after myself, was named Trevor (Tre for short, like me). At one point I was coming up with potential insults for one of the villains to use against him and one of them was "Trevor Whatever."

I liked the ring of it, but I didn't use it initially when I first started releasing my stuff publicly. My first real album, made before I joined Audiotool, was released under the name Tre Stuck, which was suggested to me by my friend Jane (who also makes music as Planet Jane, though she went by Mojave Music back then). I switched to the original spelling after I put that album out, and after I figured out about AT and joined up I dropped the second 'e' in "Whatevr" to make it easier to find me (in a move I totally stole from one of my favorite bands, CHVRCHES).

Later I found out a dude named Treva Whateva existed and put out one EP on Ninja Tune back in, like, 2005, but he hasn't released anything since.

2017-06-21 22:42 · 2017-06-21

( cringe warning )

my first ever name was "Malik Bass Hall" and honestly i cant remember why i chose it. i kinda just thought itd be cool to slap bass in between my first and last name and i regret it to this day.

my second most reputable one was "Mpact" only because i wanted to have a user that started with a "m" and to me (being a 12 year old) it sounded cool.

my most recent one was medalo and it was the only one influenced by something. i chose the name at a time where i was actually becoming ok at using audiotool, and id come to my realization that mpact was kind of a lame name. i was considering medallion at first but i didnt want such a long name so i did medalo. soon i just scuffed that name and kept medallion.

2017-06-21 22:51 · 2017-06-21

Oh so you were mpact?

2017-06-21 22:52 · 2017-06-21

yup lol

2017-06-21 23:09 · 2017-06-21

I prefer medalo tbh

2017-06-22 02:44 · 2017-06-22

Jokes aside: I got my name from an old character I made up as a kid when I was doing an "alien vs his creators" story where people see him as a threat but he's only tryna save the Earth from suffering the same fate his planet did.
And I took out the E at the end of Zerod bc I didn't like it, and that's how I got my name

2017-06-29 18:17 · 2017-06-29

Then I realized the world is small and Zerod is the name of a sports brand

2017-07-12 20:30 · 2017-07-12

Loving these stories so far. Here's mine! :)

My very first name was Jacksohn, I used it as a nick on this online game "mybrutes" or whatever. 'Jack' is my dad's name and I am his 'sohn' (german word for son).
A few years later, I got a premium Minecraft Account. IIRC 'Jacksohn' was taken, so I added '_01', cuz I was born in 2001.
Some more years later again, I figured that I could combine Zero and One to Zerone. 'Jacksohn_Zerone' was born.
When I signed up on audiotool a few months ago, I chose the name Jacksohn. My displayed name is _Zerone.
If you look at some of my first (and bad) "songs", you can see some kind of white graffiti as a cover image. I accidentaly created it when me and two friends were bored and thought "hey let's see who can make the best graffiti thing". We freaked out when I easy peasy drew it in a few seconds. Half a year later, I realized, it matches my name! The graffiti consists of the letters Z and O, and the underscore turned about 90°. To this day I still can not comprehend this amazing coincidence.

TL;DR: Jacksohn because I have a dad| Jacksohn_01 = birthyear | Jacksohn_Zerone = cleverness | _Zerone = coincidental graffiti
Thank you for reading yo, always remember to be kind

My name is stolen from Toy Story 3 (I know, right? Of all things). I was like 10 when I came up with it, and then when I got into making music, I made Velocistar my producer alias. It's a name that just stuck with me. There's nothing too special about it.

2017-08-29 22:43 · 2017-08-29

Ohh, lovely stories everyone! So here is mine:
When I first started out (no tracks, just messing around with audiotool) I was about 12 or 13. Having been a gamer since I was young, I had cheesy names all the time, usually involving the word "Queen". So I was like, "I can't think of anything cool. Let's do QueenElectric." A few years later I was getting tired of the Queen thing and wanted something new to spice up my gaming/hopefully-to-be music production.
One day I was playing Band Stars by Halfbrick Studios on my Kindle. Needing a name, and of course loving my good old video games, the idea "PXLSound" popped into my head. To me, EDM music and video gaming were similar. Yet the thing of "PixelSound" seemed to long and boring, so I settled for "PXL" as the abbreviation. Therefore, in my head the name PXLSound just really fit perfectly. I played that neat app game for a while and then decided, "What if I could make music?". I had given up a few years prior under the name "QueenElectric" with nothing more than a few seconds of work.
So here I am today as your good old PXLSound. Sure, I don't have music to show for it yet, but I am currently working on my first track. Quite nerve wracking to be honest!

Waaayyyy back in 4th grade, there was some stupid math game that was multiplayer (this was back in 09) and our 10 year old minds were boggled. the game required everyone to have a username. my group of friends at the time and i had all seen O Brother Where Art Thou so they all thought "oh. runnoft would be cool". from then on my usernames have been runnoft (or variations of).

Well, when I joined Audiotool (a little short of a year ago) I had just been looking up God-knows-what in Wikipedia and I clicked some link to an article on the "hexeract". It turns out that a hexeract is a theoretical 6-dimensional hypercube, and me being the science/math nerd that I am, I thought it would be "cool" to have it as my username (with the redundant "6" at the end, of course). Anyway, I'm begining to thoroughly regret my decision and will no doubt change my alias soon (along with the jacked-up artist logo I made using a free-trial photo layering app on my phone).

its actually kinda odd. it started out last semester in intro to biology during last block, i always wrote the block number, 4th. and i noticed that you can connect the three characters. after about two months of writing 4th like a non italicized version of my logo, without the line goin through and the words and triangles, i decided to start making it italicized. and eventually, i decided to make it my new logo, instead of a cool humanish looking version of gumball, with gumball in red at the bottom. aaaaaaand then with a lot of thinking up a name to go with the new logo, i came up with "the fourth dimensional gamer" and "the fourth dimensional symphony"

One day i got this image in my head of someone waving some kind of wand and these big waves of color flew out of it, like a person weaving things you would see in your dreams.
Hence the name, Dreamweaver. It's kinda gay but whatever.
It also comes from the fact that since I'm a nerd I thought of the coding program Adobe Dreamweaver.

My mother actually writes books, and one of the books she wrote was about a girl who lost her memory from hitting her head too hard. Basically, now her boyfriend has to get her to fall in love with her all over again. One of the title ideas was "Head Trauma Romance", and she eventually ruled it out. However, I thought it was a bomb ass name for a band or something like that, so I took it.

Funny enough, the idea for my username started in ISS when I was a sophomore in high school.
I had no clue what I did wrong, probably some bullshit that doesn't even matter anymore. Anyways, I was sitting there doing literally nothing for hours, so after a while this great Idea spawned into my head: Why not create a legitimate username. (My username at the time was nick123456)
And I thought to myself, "Self, that's a great idea." So I got to work on different weird sounding names.
I settled on Vulken, because I like fire, and the name's pretty much Vulcan with weird spelling. So when I got out of ISS and went home, I changed my name to Vulken.
At the time, Avengers 2: Age of Ultron was about to come out, so I was gonna make an EP called "Audiotoolers: Age of Vulkron" which I thought sounded kinda cool, and I thought, "I'll just change my name back later"
I never came out with the EP, and I never changed my name back.

oh, and i forgot an important detail about this
i got that image in my head because i wanted to be a singer and i was really full of myself
i wanted my friends to accidentally like me so i was thinking "i'll make an anonymous singer persona"
i thought i could make that image "once i got the money from my singing"
and then i would tell them and, looking back, i was a selfish little bitch craving attention and love
that's why i think the name dreamweaver is gay because it made me sound not modest whatsoever
but, to my surprise, no one's said my name was really stupid so i don't worry much about it anymore

Xilent was my favorite dubstep producer when I started, and he made a song called "Gravity". I think you can do the math... ^-^
