The most recent event that most probably led you to this site was a live street performance in Lakeside, Muskegon by Proteus Biche. Proteus Biche is presented under our new imprint Cirque Yelb. The current version of this message will likely remain across upcoming Proteus Biche performances (and livestreams) as well.
This is already a lot of names to be throwing around for one stupid artist, would you agree? That’s not even the true extent of it; over the last 25 years (or, since I was in high school) I have performed, recorded, and written music under more than a dozen different names. Some I gave myself, and others were given to me.
In August of 2024, I appeared on the local farmer’s market stage as Whale Kite. The name makes a simple juxtaposition…of an immense aquatic animal with a light, breezy day at the sea. The beaches and nautical aspects of the area where I live certainly influenced the name. An equally strong influence, though, was the actual whale-like kite I can sometimes be seen flying at my beautiful neighborhood beach.
Sir K’yelb—the secondmost recent “me” to perform live—is a sort of false-semordnilap, as names go. In that way, it is probably the closest to my real name that a stage name has ever come. But I digress. My point here is:
It is unimportant to me whether you remember my name—whatever it may be at the moment—or my face. I only hope you appreciate or enjoy my performance. This is my one and only concern as a performer, musician and artist.
Again, thank you very much for your support.
