Obviously not every musical artist is going to use their real name. 'Sinbad' is clearly a stage name. So we decided to dig a bit deeper.

We've collected some of the most obscure, outlandish, and entertaining artists who either go by a stage name or just aren't comfortable using their given name. The fact is, celebrities are humans just like the rest of us.

Sometimes these name changes have more to do with to an artist's personal 'brand' or style than anything else. But let's be real, some of these are a bit cringe. One thing's for sure; we won't ever look at these celebrities the same way again.
