    It’s up to you. How far do you want to go with it all?

    When DJ AM blew up, some felt I should change my name. I didn’t simply because at that point I didn’t dreams anymore of going further than just playing locally on occasion. The only time AM and I crossed paths was when he would come play in Chicago. Even then, locals knew who I was compared to him.

    If you’re looking to go big, then you might want to think a rename and rebranding. If you’re just looking to play locally, then I wouldn’t worry about it. You maybe want to use “D2” (imagine the 2 is super scripted) as opposed to “D Squared”.

    To prevent “tumbleweeding”… (making it seem no-one reads this or responds)

    What D-Jam said!

    If you ever get into production, it might also be an issue; but you could also look into registering it as a trademark; downside is that the law expects you to protect it and actively pursue violators.

    It might also be a nice way to start off again…
    For example; Tech-/Electro House DJ/Producer Wolfgang Gartner used a name change to switch genres and in the process establish a new name for himself.

    It’s not all bad, it might even be a chance to re-invent yourself?
