For <reasons> when I first started making music for and by myself, I decided I needed an artist name to operate under. So I picked the name “Tangled” as a play on my nickname*.
But now - it's time for Tangled to be laid to rest.
Why? Because Disney. Well, mostly but not entirely.
You can imagine. If I appear at all in a search on social media - or even Google - it's at the very very very bottom of a really long to the point of unscrollable list of Disney and Disney-adjacent content. Not to mention the covers of “Let it Go” that kept landing in my artist profile and I had to keep requesting be removed!
So anyway. I had a lot of chats about this with people. Had some quite good suggestions for a new artist name (Untangled was one - which I quite liked - from my friend Lily). But in the end, I am going to just use my own, actual name - Tanya Aquino. Why? And why now? Well, that might be the subject of a blog post another day :)
OK it's late where I am, and I have a day job to go to so I must away to bed. Have a lovely day or night whatever time it is you're reading this. Go forth and be happy. As someone said to me today and it made my day - I appreciate you.

* My nickname, if you're interested, is Tang and it was given to me by my dear friend Jason, who passed away suddenly, quite recently. I miss him. And I won't go into how I got it, because it's not family friendly ;)
