IN A NAME

So, I'm Clive. You knew that part already. But what you may not know is my real surname is Khan. Then, why 'Haunt'? Good question. Well first of all, I’m an artist, and we artists get to do fun things like use aesthetic stage names. Plus let’s be real, Khan is everywhere. I wanted something that stands out and kind of captures the hauntingly beautiful vibe I'm going for with my music.

Just imagine an introspective ghost, maybe a bit neurotic and overthink-y, sipping a cup of London Fog and wandering around an old library or a closed-down amusement park. There’s a fun AI art prompt for you. And a fun fact: if you pronounce Khan the way my family does, it's kinda close to "Haun"... (Yes, that really did influence my choice).

A bit about me: I'm a blend of two beautiful worlds -- my mother hails from the idyllic little island of Malta, and my father from the awe-inspiring mountains of Kashmir in Pakistan. I was born and raised in Canada, which is a melting pot of cultures and, you guessed it, it's cold a lot. But hey, it kept me on my toes and taught me to find cool ways to find warmth (on various levels).

Down the line, if you just know me as "Clive" without the "Haunt" bit, that'll be lovely too. But for now, it lends consistency to my social media handles... and in today's saturated market, an emerging artist like me can use every SEO advantage available. So, let's enjoy the Haunt while it's here.
