Your identity has been stolen. I had this happen in April when my wallet was stolen. You should immediately contact all your credit cards and ask for new cards with new numbers. Same with checking account and ATM cards.
It could be that adding the music account was just a one-time incident. But this information can be sold, and the buyer might have much more nefarious intentions.
You might want to ask the three credit-reporting bureaus to lock your accounts so no one can apply for credit using your name (because creditors have to ask for your credit rating and they can't get it if it's locked.
Their phone numbers are
Equifax 1-800-525-6285
Experian 1-888-397-3742
Transunion 1-800-680-7289
Also keep close tabs on your checking account and credit card transactions.
In my case, someone in Ohio applied for a home mortgage loan using my information. I found about it when the mortgage agent called me ( the real me). Good luck
