Cookin' Soul
Cookin Soul is a Spanish producer-DJs duo known separately as Big Size and Zock. Producing work since around 2005, the two have developed a strong presence in the mixtape circuit in the US, according to ''El País''. Critical response ''The Guardian'' gave a project they did a mixed review, indicating that "some of the mash-ups work magnificently...but several needed more time spent on them" than the single night allocated to it by the trio. Also in 2008, MTV mentioned "Public Speeding", a mashup of Jay-Z's "Public Service Announcement" and Coldplay's " High Speed", as an example of the "strangely compelling flow" of blending "worlds-apart sounds". In 2009, the trio released a tribute mixtape to Michael Jackson, with ''The Washington Post'' describing their blend of Jackson 5 and Lil Wayne on "I Want You Back" as "unexpectedly touching/weird." While the group's creation of Christmas themed rap album featuring MF DOOM known as DOOM XMAS is considered a staple mark of a holiday r ...

Stage Name
A stage name is a pseudonym used by performers and entertainers—such as actors, comedians, singers, and musicians. Such professional aliases are adopted for a wide variety of reasons and they may be similar, or nearly identical, to an individual's birth name. Though uncommon, some performers choose to adopt their stage name as a legal name. Nicknames and maiden names are sometimes used in a person's professional name. Reasons for using a stage name A performer will often take a stage name because their real name is considered unattractive, dull, or unintentionally amusing; projects an undesired image; is difficult to pronounce or spell; or is already being used by another notable individual, including names that are not exactly the same but still too similar. An example of this is pop singer Katy Perry, whose real name is Katheryn "Katy" Hudson, which would have caused confusion with the actress Kate Hudson. Sometimes a performer adopts a name that is unusual or outlandis ...
