Budding Musicians: Opportunities in LA Surpass Other Cities

The place you choose can make -- or break -- your career.

Are you a budding musician just trying to figure out the best path to follow that helps you achieve your dreams? For many people, that means moving to a city that provides you with the kind of opportunities to advance your music career and hopefully realize success. And while there are a number of cities across the country that can fit these criteria, for many, Los Angeles is the city that speaks to them most. The City of Angels has created quite the reputation for itself in terms of what it can offer those looking to pursue a career in music. Before you jump in and make any decisions, here’s a look at what LA can offer budding musicians like yourself in 2021.

It’s All About Making Connections

Arguably one of the biggest aspects LA has going for itself with regards to budding musicians is the connections it offers. There is a lot of talent to be found in LA both in terms of musicians and those who are more behind the scenes in the music industry. It is often said that it’s all about who you know, and the music scene is an excellent example of how true this can be. Considering that you can make connections and broaden your network on a consistent basis, it’s hard to find another city to rival it. Having these connections will significantly affect how fast you get in the industry. You can also check out Music Critic, a community where musicians flock to expose their talent. A lot of great undiscovered artists can be found that might potentially influence your art positively.

Access to Rehearsal Studios

Musicians understand better than anyone just how important it is to practice your craft. This is how you can perfect your skills and of course how you can tap into your creative energy. And while there is nothing wrong with practicing in your own home, it certainly can’t compare to what a rehearsal studio can offer. This is another big benefit of moving to LA.

If a Los Angeles rehearsal studio is what you’re looking for, you will want to visit those provided by Pirate.com, which have been created for artists by artists. The locations offer a real community where you can connect with likeminded people, practice, get valuable feedback and advice, and even find other musicians you may want to work with. And if you’re worried about supplying your own equipment, Pirate features bass amps, guitar amps, a 12-channel mixer, Pioneer speakers, and drums depending on which studio you have booked and in what location.

Plenty of Opportunities to Perform In Front of an Audience

If you live to perform and receive feedback from the audience, LA can once again fit the bill. There are plenty of small- and medium-sized venues that you can work on booking and really start to get your name out there. In fact, you can manage to stay pretty busy if you hustle. Some of the options you can look into include open-mic nights, talent nights, events meant for new artists such as yourself, and even local pubs/bars/coffee shops.
It’s important to at least entertain and consider every opportunity, as it would give you a chance to perform live and get that much-needed feedback which can help you to improve and build confidence.

Although it would be great if music could pay all your bills right from the start, chances are you’re going to need another job that will act as your income – at least in the short-term. You’ll find plenty of part-time opportunities, which musicians tend to appreciate. This gives you lots of time to work on your craft, practice, and book gigs, all while working at a stable job with hours that aren’t overwhelming.

Build Friendships with Other Musicians

If you’ve had dreams of collaborating with another artist, LA can give you an opportunity to find people to perform with. When you perform with another musician, often it can give you that extra push that you don’t feel when you’re performing on your own. It’s about elevating your talent and really pushing it to the max.
Even if you don’t perform with another artist, just being able to chat with those who know what you’re going through, who understand your struggles and fears, and who can offer support and advice is a huge plus.

Let’s Not Forget the Stunning Natural Scenery

If you write all your own music, this can help you to tap into a whole other side that you weren’t even aware of. At the very least, the scenery is beautiful and relaxing, which can be wonderful after a long and tiring work week.

If you’re a musician looking for that perfect city to move to and launch your career in, LA is most definitely worth considering.
