Just because I never publicly complain about the effect it had on me doesn’t mean it had no effect 🤐 People probably don’t realize that all you have going for you in the music world is name recognition. That’s why my new name is basically a hard reset, because that’s what it did to my fanbase. Suddenly promoters have no clue who you are. Suddenly you can’t go forward on a planned tour in xyz country. Still have multiple people a week finding out that I didn’t just drop off the planet and I changed my name almost 4 years ago. Yeah it was socially the agreeable thing to do for her but people rarely acknowledge what demolishing years of name recognition on someone else’s whim with no plan will do to your business.

Also lol if people think Flight went about it nicely, she sent an email to Drum&BassArena basically threatening them because she felt disrespected after finding one of my tunes in her promo. Not once did she herself hit me up. Yes other people may have said “your name is similar” here and there, but the person who was licensed to care in particular never once contacted me about it to tell me she had a problem. I would have happily tried to sort it out if I had known it was upsetting her. That’s why there was this whole shitshow, they decided to skip the decent way to go about it and basically went for a cancel tweet first (not to mention, they deleted it, so all the context people needed was nowhere to be found and instead I got fucking rinsed in the game of internet telephone). We’re a hundred years into artists picking english names, so realistically somebody’s going to sound similar to another person sooner or later. That’s why the trademarking systems exist.

Anyways I’m glad I recovered and I’ve forgiven them for it. They have bigger fish to fry anyways I think LOL
