alr so I'm not writing this post as a "come solve this problem for me" cause I'm obviously the one too retarded to decide. probably should've decided long ago anyway. I'm mostly writing out loud because this is something I should've thought about long ago but I HATE making decisions so, I'm doing it out loud to make it easier for myself ig lmao. but advices are 120% welcome. you guys definitely know better than I do on this matter. so uhh...
rn I'm actively and passively trying to make it as:
that's about as many as I can remember rn
these one's are fine:
again these are all fine, no problem. where it get's tricky is here:
iran tv career = bit tied to the govt, so, safer to use full name. + there's already 1 TV project I've produced for there which uses my full name in the credits. so ig it makes sense if I'm sticking to that.
then for film composing outside iran, I think I'm using Arvin Armani instead? I mean full name on this as well wouldn't hurt, but I already did use "Armani" on this 1 short film in Iran and unfortunately (lmao) it went big enough to be international and I don't wanna lose that credit. does that credit matter? is it really a sacrifice if I say "ehh, fuck it" and just use my full name on future intl films as well from now on?
if I don't, I probably can't use Armani for my hip hop career in or outside Iran, since no one wants a producer who's writing for harry potter & 50 cent at the same time. bear in mind I've already been involved in mix/production of like 50 60 tracks in india as "Arvin Armani". (also I don't want the brand "Arvin Armani" to be working with just any random ahh indian who's willing to pay. some random shit like "Aeezy-A" or sumn can do that while Armani is busy doing important things like rewatching singin in the rain with a both hands in his pants for the 20th time.)
So I'd suppose the logical approach is:
also is one supposed to make whole ass social media accounts for each and every one of these "personalities"? I can barely manage my 1 account and even for that I have to use vpns n whatnot so much that zuck thinks I'm a bot. and I'll have to make people follow all my accounts? isn't that rude? lmfao
rn I'm actively and passively trying to make it as:
- Full name
- Arvin Armani
- Lady Magnum
- Orchestrate Everything
- Rendez
that's about as many as I can remember rn
these one's are fine:
- Orchestrate Everything is obviously my yt channel, diff story, all good.
- Lady Magnum is a virtual band I've been planning to start for years, finally getting some concrete material this year (I have 2.5 finished, fully written & mostly produced tracks, waiting to be recorded). that's all good too.
- Rendez is our lil "band" in Iran where we spit some goofy shit. I'll be using that for clickbaity songs that yk... throwin shit at the wall, may stick or not.
again these are all fine, no problem. where it get's tricky is here:
- there's a film/tv/movie career I'm goin after in Iran
- there's an underground, not-so-legal hip hop producer career I'm also going after in Iran (but not too much, just for the money)
- there's a film/tv/movie career I'm going after outside Iran
- there's a pop/hiphop/etc production career I'm pursuing outside Iran

So I'd suppose the logical approach is:
- Film / TV / Legal music in Iran: Full Name
- Film / TV outside Iran: Armani
- Other Music outside Iran: New name
- Hip Hop/Illegal music in Iran: New name (same as last)
- Shit music: New New name
- Film / TV / Legal music in Iran: Full Name
- Film / TV outside Iran: Full Name
- Other Music outside Iran: Arvin Armani
- Hip Hop/Illegal music in Iran: Arvin Armani
- Shit music: New name

ALSO I've recently picked up painting randomly. a voice inside of me urges me to just merge tf out of all personalities and be like "yeah so I draw, I make fat beats, I write poems, I compose orchestras and I probably hate you. I'm one of those people. leave me alone, probably? maybe I'll cut my ear or something idk? wanna get fweaky with me? maybe some sex? possibly? please?" like yk, ludwig goransson it. or ludwig van vincent van goghthoven it. idk, I hate this part. I just wanna design hotels n nail it yk. throw shit at any wall I fw.
but then again, I have been asked "what's your style?" multiple times by professional people and it pisses me the fuck off. my style is whatever you're willing to pay me to do. if I was really just pursuing my own will & inspiration, u think I'd have been here to work with your uninspired sleazy ass? what can you do tho. your growth can't be noticed unless you fit yourself in a frame. you can't compete with infinity.
Fu-Huck! I hate doing this part so much lmfao.
anyway, side note, there's also Vanguard FM but that's not really a music "Creator". more like an illmuzik-sponsored occasional content creator. I've also considered creating a new yt channel for like... phonk gaming type beats with japanese girls on thumbnail for the sake of views & money n shit. idk.
