In this post, I bid a fond farewell to Tangled.
I'm not a fan of literality. I far prefer it when people have to work a little to derive meaning. I enjoy the variety of interpretation that creates. I stand by this - despite the fact that my friend Ivan says he can never tell what my songs are about as a result :)
So when it comes to choosing an ‘operating name’ as an artist, it seems dull and obvious to choose to use my ‘actual’ name. But friends, that is exactly what I have chosen to do.
If you're interested, this blog post talks about why I chose Tangled as an artist name for my original work. At some point if I get sufficiently philosophical I'll maybe talk about why I've now decided to use my actual name in another post.
But the main thing to know now, I guess, is that it's happening - now. And a few things are changing as a result.
I have a new artist profile on Spotify and Apple Music. All the music I've released thus far is now available under my name and Tangled is no more. Other things changing as well - Facebook is changing. Instagram is changing, Soundcloud is changing. I have a shiny new bandcamp profile and a YouTube channel which (YouTube gods being willing .. ) will hopefully soon become a YouTube music channel. This website also has a new domain.
All this means - of course - is that if you had been kind enough to follow me on Spotify or add me to a playlist I would really love it if you'd follow me again as Tanya Aquino, put me back on the playlist, have a listen and so forth. I'll stick a little list at the bottom of this.
And that is enough for this post I think. But. There are more things to come, quite a lot. I have made this change for a reason after all! Stay tuned, friends.
Thanks for being here and reading this - I appreciate you!
