Originally I got the name ' Severinus ' from a character in a movie called " the Name of the Rose " starring Sean Connery and Christian Slater. The name is in latin. I later found out that Severinus is actually a patron saint of Austria, where a lot of composers came from (Mozart, Beethoven, etc. )
I liked the name because it had mystery to it as well as a powerful tone to it.
So i kept it.

not yet.............maybe someday in the future

The Internet is good for the exposure, now you have a lot of bands online whether they are serious or not. But its still gonna be the same. Someone will be found and signed, just as somebody will be dropped or break-up.
For bands or solo artists i still think they should get paid some sort or royalty whether there music is listened or downloaded...

Oh yes. I think that would be a dream come true. I never see it as 'selling out' you have to progress in life. You have a better chance of having your music being exposed to a bigger audience.
