| Blackhouse and Plexysis:
While I'm not one to shun reality, everyone that I've heard about who's made it said they never, ever gave up. To me bailing after 3 years is a cop out. That's wayyyy too early to give up IMO.
It took me 15 years to find my musical voice and learn enough about writing, recording and mixing to put together three songs that have gotten me noticed. I went to college out here, worked in tech support, real estate, IT, sales, and now that I have a financial backing I'm tackling music and audio production full time. Not to mention I built a great project studio and own some of the best gear, guitars and amps money can buy. Not to mention the fact that I also work in a private studio.
There's no ONE way to do it. While I think you two have great points about making it in your market then moving to LA, I think that will work for some people. Not for me. There was no chance in hell I would have made it in my small-ass town unless I wanted to do Country all my life. |
