Hollywoods Hottest Stars Shed Their Aliases

#25. Grimes

Real Name: Claire Boucher

Claire Boucher started posting her own music to MySpace in 2007, and the platform let artists choose three genres with which to describe their tunes. The artist later revealed on Twitter that she chose grime for all three without even knowing what kind of music it was! And, from there, she chose her stage name: Grimes. She has gone on to bestow her baby with an even more quirky moniker: X Æ A-12, which is a reference to the speed of light. She and her partner Elon Musk apparently call him X.
