Why do all Somali Artists have Nicknames?

[IRONm@N]

It seems that all Somali singers/artists have nicknames nowadays, I don't know if it's required in the music industry, but which one is your favorite?

Because chances are there's good 50,000 other somalis with ur first, middle and last name

Before 1970's, we just use to recycle the same old 34 names over and over and over.
