Music (Ivan Wilzig Becomes Recording Artist Sir Ivan, Aka Peaceman)
When asked why he calls himself “Sir” Ivan, he jokingly reponds, “I didn’t ask permission from the Queen of England to build my own castle(see Sir Ivan’s Castle section), so why should I wait for her to knight me? And so, I knighted myself.” “Also, I thought “Sir Ivan” makes a great stage name. Ivan alone, reminds people of the Russian Czars, like Ivan the Terrible and Ivan the Great, and Wilzig is too hard to spell.”
