Topic: Music Composers
This is just my current run of luck, isn't it? As it turns out, there's another new age musician (perhaps a composer, also) by the name of "Sebastian Perry". I don't know precisely how long he's been doing music for a record label, but suffice it to say, an explanation is required.
First, as I said in a previous post, to blatantly copy someone else is equivalent to cheating. I don't do that. My name, J Sebastian Perry, is an abbreviation of my full name, Jeffrey Allan Sebastian Perry. The "J", of course, stands for "Jeffrey" (or "Jeff"... I'll answer to either).
This is in contrast to Sebastian Perry, whose full name seems to be represented in his sobriquet.
So, to that effect, whilst I won't be totally changing my own stage-name (you can still make out all of your cheques to "J Sebastian Perry"), I may also go by the following names in the ending credits to something...
J Sebastian (just dropping the "Perry" altogether)
J.S. Perry (referencing "J.S. Bach")
Jeffrey A Perry (just dropping the "Sebastian" altogether)
Yoshin Okesu (my videogame composer name -- "Okesu" is a shortening of okesutora, "orchestra"; "Yoshin" is "Yoshi" and shinsu, "synth")
So, again, J Sebastian Perry and Sebastian Perry are two different people.
I mean, there's Mark Wahlberg, the cinema actor, and there's Mark A. Walberg, the television host. Jerry Seinfeld and Jake Steinfeld. Leonard Nimoy and... er... Harrison Ford?
