A clean modifier like “@theartistname” or “@artistname_” is immediately recognizable and builds consistency across platforms without compromising the core name. the question worth answering first though: which 1-2 platforms are actually central to your strategy? If you’re an artist, that’s probably Instagram and TikTok. Prioritize getting the exact handle there, even if it means more variation elsewhere. Audiences rarely cross-reference handles across platforms anyway.
