I miss LA at times and I do believe that where you are matters in so far as opportunities to work w others and gain attention from that work.
If film/tv is you interest then it pretty much comes down to LA or NY.
It also is an A&R turned Music supervisor world it seems. |
Above is what you can't get from the 'interweb'.
As for bands/musicians/artists--whether you end up as an opening act for a bigger band on tour, music placed in tv/movie/commercials or even join a bigger act as a musician or hired gun, most all of these opportunities come about from people you meet, become friends with, who turn you on to other people who may/can/will help you or promote you. The larger that community is, the more you meet and the better chances you have, however small they maybe these days.
This is why LA has an advantage, regardless if anyone likes the city or not (which usually depends on the level of success they achieve, or not
).
