Aurelio Voltaire Hernández〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Voltaire - Biography - IMDb )〕 (born January 25, 1967) and professionally known by the mononym Voltaire, is a Cuban-American dark cabaret musician. His stage name is his given middle name, which he shares with the famous French Enlightenment writer François-Marie Arouet. Voltaire is also an experienced animator and comic artist, and is a professor at the School of Visual Arts in New York. ==Name== In the past, when asked about his real name, Voltaire avoided the question or implied that his real name is in fact Voltaire. Voltaire chose to use his middle name as his performance name because his namesake "saw through the hypocrisies of humanity and commented on them through satire. In essence, he was able to educate people about the world around them by making them laugh." According to the School of Visual Arts where he is employed as a professor, Voltaire's real name is Aurelio Voltaire Hernández.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Our Faculty: Aurelio Voltaire Hernandez )〕 Voltaire attributes "Acoustic Guitar and Vocals" on ''Ooky Spooky'' to Aurelio Voltaire Hernández, confirming that is his real name. Since then he has signed his name as Aurelio Voltaire, and is more open about it in public appearances. His stage name is now "Aurelio Voltaire" for the following reason: "I got tired of there being other people releasing albums as Voltaire. There's an indie band in Germany and some American guy who makes instrumental hip hop. Like, do these people not do a fuckin' google search before naming their bands? Anyway, it was just easier to distinguish myself from them by using my first name." 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Voltaire (musician)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
