How it's used

Refers specifically to the professional alias adopted by performers, singers, or actors to cultivate a public persona. It is distinct from a nickname or a pen name, as it is tied to the entertainment industry and public image. Using this term implies a clear separation between the individual's private life and their professional identity.

Common mistake

Do not confuse this with 筆名, which is strictly for authors and writers. Using 藝名 for a writer would sound incorrect as it implies they are a performer.
