Artist name change from “Miles Kvndra” to “KVNDRA”

Hey friends,

I just wanted to let you know that from today onwards, I will be working under the stage name “KVNDRA” instead of “Miles Kvndra.” This has been on my mind for a while, so I would like to share my thoughts with you:

As many of you may not know, my real first name is not Miles, but Milan. My parents named me after the famous Czech author Milan Kundera, whose work I greatly admire. So the stage name "Kvndra" (pronounced Kundra) is a direct connection and tribute to my roots and my father, who I lost this year and who had a special connection to Milan Kundera's work as well. Miles is a nickname I gave myself some time ago when I was still working under a different stage name and then I just made the connection.

Although I have absolutely nothing against the nickname Miles, for me it doesn't fit with the connection between my real name and the stage name KVNDRA. Since I want to emphasize this connection more in the future, I have decided to drop Miles and only perform under KVNDRA. This will not change my artistic, musical or educational direction. I will apply this change in the next couple of weeks and months on various platforms. This also means I will have to change a lot of links and hyperlinks, so if you experience a link that isn't working anymore, it's due to the renaming (and if you could let me know that would be fantastic so I can adjust the links).

You are welcome to continue calling me Miles. You are also welcome to call me Milan. Or KVNDRA. Or that dude who made this Dune track. Whatever you want.

Thanks for listening and stay creative,

Milan (KVNDRA)
