La La Land?

Deciding where to settle down always seems to lie at the back of my mind. Most people I've talked to want to move out of state or to Southern California. I don't know if they want to move because they wish to be away from everyone here or if they are considering where the right place may be to pursue their career. With the thought of producing music in mind, I would like to move to Los Angeles (La La Land).
What would be better than moving to L.A. with the dream to work with the biggest artists in the industry today? Los Angeles is the best opportunity for me to make it big. Well-known artists fly from all over the world to work with producers on their next album. With a large variety of record companies and labels, I will have a greater chance of being signed to one. Among all the others to be discovered, I can team up with new artists to make demos to sell to labels. With this idea, I plan to have a home studio for recording sessions.
Some examples of ideal home studios:


Since sound equipment is expensive, I'll need a part time job. Ideally I'd like to be a mixologist at a club. Once I get signed to an official label, I'll get a studio that is larger and nicer than the home studio. Because I play piano, I would love a grand piano in my space so I may record a chord to synth or just record a classical piece.

Eventually after having a stable income, I plan on buying an apartment in New York. My main home will still be in Los Angeles but I will fly to New York to work on music if necessary. Although N.Y. is known for live music, there are still similar jobs within that field and production. For now I won't worry about moving to N.Y. yet, I'll just focus on L.A. One step at a time.

  1. I've always wanted to go to SoCal after high school and live in New York too! I hope you do get to meet well known people in the music industry and make it big one day. Whatever you end up doing will be great. Just don't forget about me when you become famous! ☺
