Personas are important to artists, and that’s what birth their stage names. Since these names are what they give us, they are the only thing we attach to their faces. Nobody really bothers to find out their real names unless it’s absolutely important. Now, it’s hard to explain it, but some of these artists look like their real names. On the other hand, some of them have absolutely no connection to their names, and this article is about 11 artists who fall into this category.

Look at the name, then look at the picture. Do you see it? No! Absolutely not.
