Similar to a question I answered last year.

So I am going to tell you about how I received the name Shakerman. A long time ago I went into this bar called Sky Bar on Fourth Avenue. I went there to attend an open mic, which is a good way to have an audience listen to my music and no pressure. It is only a little sample of what I do. I can only perform for like fifteen minutes, so it is not that long. Maybe three lyrics or songs at best. I don’t get paid for the open mic, but in the future if I want a gig. It is a good idea to first go to open mics, to build a fan base and see if anyone likes what I do.

Well, one night I was performing, playing the shaker and singing/screaming and I had the name pop in my head, “Shakerman” because I play the shaker and sing/scream. So, from there on, I was known as Shakerman. This is the Shaker I used.
