I always thought it was psychologically insane for people to perform in front of massive crowds. Like think about that, people don’t do that in a regular basis, we barely walk into rooms that contain that many ppl. I do believe artist are forced to transform or become an alter ego to be able to maintain that psychological shift of stardom.
I had an alter ego in my early 20s. Her name was Lola Devine. I’m shy, quiet, and a huge introvert. I also have anxiety and have waves of depression. Lola was super confident, bold and didn’t care what anyone thought. It helped me become super popular in my town and got into a lot of clubs and bars for free, meet celebs and even did a few model shoots. It was some of the best times of my life! Having an alter ego is fun.
That happened to me too, I created a sort of Alternate personality that I could go to. It allowed me to do things that I never thought I could achieve; Never been more Confident in my life.
happened to me in highschool I made up this nickname for myself and it stuck and gave me the freedom to be who ever I wanted to be when I wanted it was nice
Appreciate you taking inspiration from different genres, and including so many female artists in this one. I have definitely felt how difficult it is to act on an artistic impulse if you feel it clashes with your own or others' perception of yourself. It almost feels like self sabotage. I will try to implement this myself, your videos are wonderful as always and love all the exciting projects you're working on with the rest of the community ❤
Thanks for the kind words there, and so glad the video is resonating with you on that one. 'self sabotage' - I hear you, that's a really interesting topic, you've got me thinking with that one. Thanks as always for the support, and again for the kind words.
@@creativemindsyoutubeappreciate you for making the self sabotage video and constantly engaging with us through these comments. Keep going, you're doing amazing work 🙌
Just came across this video on my homepage, and wow. I made my alter ego at 17 when I was a closeted gay guy from a muslim family. I did not consciously make the decision to even have an alter ego, I just wanted to be myself freely online without anyone knowing me because it was quite dangerous to be myself freely. Now i'm in my mid twenties, an adult entertainer (cause we got bills to pay ) and working on my music in peace and safety. having an alter ego really changed my life and gave me a way to see what I was capable of.
I have struggled with identity issues my whole life. I think most of my identity structure is an amalgamation of all the different alter egos I tried on for size. They certainly did help me to grow into new areas and have engaging new experiences. Nothing like being seen for who you genuinely are though.
This is a concept Michael Jackson speaks about, and alot of peopl who knew him speak about the contrast between him offstage and the beast he become onstage. He is the first person that we saw that concept come true!
I took on a new name at the start of my career. Now I don't even go by that name professionally but my confidence has definitely catapulted since and I'm around much more artistic and supportive friends, who all know me by that name, not my own.
Dope, thanks for sharing your story on that. And glad I was able to make something that resonated with your experience in that way. Cheers for taking the time to comment.
St. Vincent. Her stage persona vs. herself as Annie Clark are two different people. Her and Carrie Brownstein made a movie about it that's half comedy, half based in trth. Annie said herself that St. Vincent is an outlet for something she has inside her. Loved this concept btw.
This is incredibly compelling fam. I've never looked at artist alter egos objectively prior to this tbh. Always thought they were cool and fun to create but the amount of utility they offer never occurred to me until it smacked me in the face watching this
My favorite superhero is Blade, and I see a lot of myself in that character. So recently I’ve been leaning into more of a vampire aesthetic and calling myself a daywalker on social media. I even had custom fangs made. My last DJ set I was a lot less timid than I had been bc I embraced the kickass vampire trope a little harder this time. Thanks for this video.
i have an alter ego and never thought it was a batman effect until this video, Im so happy that there is evidence that surrounds it. Now i can see more clearly thank you
I think that the usage of the batman effect is extremely important in any endeavours. Chances are you aren't who you want to be, if you are it's likely a self defeating philosophy that blocks any growth. This is a personal opinion that is fully subjective and I'd be open to discussion, but I find that art is often hyper-referencial, focusing on exactly what's happening in life or exactly what's happening in the world, I believe that art is so powerful and it can be so much more than a basic 1:1 mirror. If you've every had such an elated feeling whilst consuming art that you can't fully explain you should know what I mean.
Thanks for taking the time to drop the comment and share that. My next video is about fear - I'm working on it at the moment, and trying to overcome a few things around my own practice and some irrational fears there, so glad all these ideas are being discussed and brought up here. That social media pressure is a realness right now, and I will keep that self-sabotage idea in my head, because it's a deep one and I'd love to dig into it. Thanks again for taking the time to comment and share your thoughts, always appreciated in here.
@@creativemindsyoutube thank you and yes! Fear and Releasing Perfectionism :) great work as always and I love the "and peace in your practice" phrase 🚀⭐
Love this idea of creating an alter ego. I don’t necessarily have one yet but when i talk to others i think of my favorite artist or people who i think that are confident and cool and try my best in that moment to embody it !
I’m a local DJ/Producer in Orlando, I use this effect in my music and my work. I have a stage name, I have a separate persona that people know me as. They don’t even know my real name they call me my stage name. So it helps because when I’m out there, he takes over and all my insecurities as me do fade away.
So dope to hear how many artists watching this are saying the concept resonated for them. Appreciate you adding your story & words to the page. Thanks for taking the time.
was disappointed that Eminem and his Slim Shady persona wasn’t mentioned, cuz he definitely influenced people like Tyler and Nicki to go all in on the alter egos in rap. He’s really the one who pushed the boundaries of that in rap specifically and one of the most famous examples overall.
Amazing video as per man! My advice to everyone RELEASE IMPERFECT MUSIC! no matter how much work you put into the song someone will think its shit anyway so fucking release! You miss 100% of the shots you dont take! ❤️🙏
@MichaelTurner856 bro just keep grinding away man whether your a writer or producer just keep going keep learning new techniques n learn from the best you got this man send your IG il follow ur journey man ❤️🙏
That's real! I've always been (and still am) a shy and introverted guy, very anxious and stuff, but I always had the idea of introducing myself as a music producer and DJ, so I created a stage name, a mask and started doing local contacts via internet, some months later I started to do gigs in electronic music parties, jumping, dancing and doing all the shit I wanted in the stage, I did it for 4 years and it was crazy. I made several friends in this process. Sometimes all you need is a persona to break free.
Thanks for dropping your experience on that, and taking the time to add to the page here. Great to hear the story in this one resonating with your life too, glad the video hit in that way.
Been watching all your older videos it’s so good that you talk and share your opinion now, it’s the best part of your videos keep it up these are so helpful to me and all the other creators that watch you. ❤️
Thanks Coel, that was obviously kind of a tough decision to make for me, how much to step into them - so the comment means a lot, and thanks for taking the time to drop in with the kind words.
I could not have come across your video at a more perfect time!! I'm about to have my first poetry book published in February 2024, so this upcoming fall and winter I'm really going to have to push myself to share my work and basically promote myself (🤐😅!) On social media and putting together a preorder/promo tour AND a book launch party next spring. I have really been struggling with this! So thank you so much for this video! Subbed and cannot wait to dig through your content:)
So happy this one resonated with you, and power to you with your poetry drop. Thanks for taking the time to comment and add your story and thoughts to the page here, it matters.
@@creativemindsyoutube thank YOU for being so interactive and supportive of your subscribers! And for the insightful content you create. Teamwork is so important, all for the greater good:)
Wow this video was amazing! Thank you so much for putting it together. I feel that I am developing an alter ego to help push me out of my comfort zone to start performing. For years I suffered from stage fright but recently, I met my alter ego Justin, who is a fearless and confident persona who takes control and loves to be the center of attention!
I always felt like yugi from yugioh when he entered into a duel, and the spirit of the Millenium puzzle would take over!! And people would notice and comment as I am usually shy and introverted, but when on stage a beast awakens and the people love him.. I guess I’m not so weird after all 👾
Alter ego is something I think everyone has. Weather they know it or not. Because the definition of alter ego means to be confident, fierce, and do things you'd never expect nor want to do. So basically the opposite of yourself. So everyone has it. You just have to find it.
Oh, I had him going around my head a while back then it dropped out for some reason. Thanks for reminding me of him, and I will keep him in the forefront of my mind as I move through the upcoming edits.
I never understood how people choose identities some people just said im a car guy & their entire personality become a car guy , just recently start to find my voice & realize most identity my culture offered wasn't not anything I wasn't to be
Glad this one resonated with your practice. It definitely made sense to me. Power to your work and thanks for taking the time to comment. It's always appreciated.
I will be getting him in a video very soon, mark my words lol. I'll try and remember to pop back to this comment and remind. Thanks for the kind words and taking the time to comment and suggest.
Even though I do believe that it would be beneficial and help me really let go as an artist, presenting an alter ego or character feels like i'm not being authentic.
I feel like one needs to go beyond ego. I think these artists are doing that by going beyond their own ego limitations by adopting fantasy-like qualities that allow them to transcend their own egos. They found a way.
For me, it was bad vs good. I used to go by NOVA. He was an arrogant, egotistical drug addict who only cared about himself and used anyone he could to get whatever he needed. I always justified his behavior through creative expression. But it had a detrimental effect on my reality. I celebrated eighteen months clean recently, and for the first year of my recovery, I always felt a heavy presence that trailed me. I would see what seemed like a shadow following me. It was like my alter ego was angry I was trying to get rid of him. Through self-refleciton, prayer, and meditation, I have strengthened my relationship with God and have learned to truly accept myself. I know now that self-acceptance unlocks the door to self-improvement. 🙏🏿✌🏿💚💪🏿
Great to see the themes in this one, resonating with others. I really appreciate you adding your story & words, and know the time it takes to drop in and share matters to me, and others who read it too.
Cheers Julias, and thanks especially for the support on me jumping into the videos. That was obviously a decision that took a bit of thinking, but I'm glad I made the step, and means a lot to hear people are digging it. Love love
Tyler a comet of dark feminine space matter this is me 222. Beyoncè is a scorpio moon as well. When thee ego gets bruised thee super ego appears thus thee shera story. 💜 thee beat artists honor + balance their feminine creative force which is soft power that influence.
at one point i mapped my personas onto the Jack, Queen, King, and Ace archetype... very powerful but you have to be careful when boxing yourself off not to make these characters 2D and boring, or you will out-grow them as they remain static :P
I have more than one alter egos and they have names and characters of their own, depending on which mood I'm in. Started with "Lulu", a pet name given by my mom, he's sweet, respectful, affectionate and sensitive, there's Mluyoncé, named after Beyoncé, he's expressive, flirty and loves to walk like a bad bitch, loves to sing and dance then there's "Bhut' Mlu" he's a brotherly and cool, could put somebody in their place if you come for him. Then there's Mlulest, he's a carefree life of a party boy who everyone loves. There's "Shoba RAE", my rap alter ego, he's fiesty and protective over my other characters, only comes out when it comes to rapping, only when I want to be a beast on the mic. Those characters are all me, they definitely define me, flaws and all.
Far as Beyoncé goes I don’t believe she had any insecurities. Since she’s been like what 10 every room she’s walked in she’s been the prettiest girl. I’m not saying that’s a bad thing. It’s just not the same for everyone. Not alotta people are treated like princes and princess for like 30 years straight since a kid you’ve been told your the most talented the most beautiful and you can sing that’s a triple threat and it actually works out that way like you become a major star. If she did have insecurities there very different that regular peoples.
I always thought it was psychologically insane for people to perform in front of massive crowds. Like think about that, people don’t do that in a regular basis, we barely walk into rooms that contain that many ppl. I do believe artist are forced to transform or become an alter ego to be able to maintain that psychological shift of stardom.

I have more than one alter egos and they have names and characters of their own, depending on which mood I'm in. Started with "Lulu", a pet name given by my mom, he's sweet, respectful, affectionate and sensitive, there's Mluyoncé, named after Beyoncé, he's expressive, flirty and loves to walk like a bad bitch, loves to sing and dance then there's "Bhut' Mlu" he's a brotherly and cool, could put somebody in their place if you come for him. Then there's Mlulest, he's a carefree life of a party boy who everyone loves. There's "Shoba RAE", my rap alter ego, he's fiesty and protective over my other characters, only comes out when it comes to rapping, only when I want to be a beast on the mic.
Those characters are all me, they definitely define me, flaws and all.
Far as Beyoncé goes I don’t believe she had any insecurities. Since she’s been like what 10 every room she’s walked in she’s been the prettiest girl. I’m not saying that’s a bad thing. It’s just not the same for everyone. Not alotta people are treated like princes and princess for like 30 years straight since a kid you’ve been told your the most talented the most beautiful and you can sing that’s a triple threat and it actually works out that way like you become a major star. If she did have insecurities there very different that regular peoples.
If everybody was a superstar like we’re deemed to be the planet would be destroyed already 😂 and yeah you can use my lyrics
4:04 aou oueh ego 😂
I hate having to explain my intentions to people
