mbradzick · 6th July 2009

While I don't know if LA's as necessary as it used to be, there are a hell of a lot of producers out here, and for me that means work. I was drawn to the city cause of the Film/TV as well as Record Industries, and there's certainly no shortage of history in any of those departments. New York and London certainly compete in those arenas.

I'd definitely agree though that syncing to picture is still one of the best way to break new acts, and music supervisors are as important as ever to cut thru the musical clutter.

In regards to LA, I can surf in Malibu every weekend, go snowboarding if I want, go camping and hiking whenever I feel like it, and I get paid to do what I love. I can't complain.
