I was recording rap music when I was younger, and I had a name I used for that. Over time that name became a whole sentence, sort of how Soulja Boy uses the name “Soulja Boy Tell 'Em”, which is a whole sentence, but it was shortened to Soulja Boy. Anyway, I was the opposite, I had a name and added “The TotalArtist” at the end of it after awhile. My name became a whole sentence. I never officially added it, but I would include it on promos and things. I was overusing the music name on other forums unrelated to yo-yos, so when I signed up for YYE forum, I decided to use the TotalArtist part of the name instead.
I called myself the TotalArtist because in the music industry, some people write songs, some people produce music and play instruments, and some people perform. I was doing it all, so I think a complete music artist is a “TotalArtist” and so that’s where the name came from. Most people think it has something to do with me making yo-yo holders, but it had nothing to do with that at all. It retroactively applied to that.
When I made those yo-yo songs, I sort of came out of retirement lol. I’m old school, but I can still do my thing.
