I started a new house music project back in ~2013 I think, and needed a name. I’ve always been a big fan of Erykah Badu, aka @fatbellybella, so I became Beer Belly Pete!

My first nick on the forums was ichthyosis due to my skin disease, then I adopted judd as it was a short name. Now Resilience for my current state in this fucking life.

It’s the first time I’ve used this nickname. A Swedish word meaning “Zero Trust” in English.

First PC gaming name I used back in the good old days when loads of us would rush to the school computer rooms at lunch time for UT GOTY Edition LAN matches. It’s just a light variation on my surname. Kind of stuck with it ever since.
