When Sade scored a hit single I remember DJ's calling her Say-Dee. They were quickly informed her name was pronounced Shah-Day.
Who's an artist that you're a fan of but whose name you're not sure how to pronounce?
I remember when Sufjan Stevens was starting out I heard several pronunciations of his name and almost every article about him tried to clarify it, but it wasn't until I saw him and he said "Hi, I'm Sufjan Stevens" that I was sure how to pronounce it.
Bon Iver, Rae Sremmurd, Sigur Ros, and the Notwist have been other artists over the years who I haven't been sure how to pronounce.
Who are some artists whose names you haven't been sure how to pronounce?
