Alter egos
From Princepedia
Prince has taken on, or worked under, many alternate names in his career. Sometimes this was to hide who really wrote songs from the general public; sometimes it appears to have been just "for fun". It's not believed there was any particular business (i.e., tax) rationale behind the various pseudonyms.
