1. Los Angeles
Los Angeles is an expensive place to live in. Trust me, I know! But here is the “but…” it can also be a place where dreams come true. That sounds cliché but there are so many powerful people in the industry that can put you in the right room.
From the record labels, venues, studios, to the Hollywood hot spots, LA is definitely a mecca for entertainment. On a random Tuesday night you could find yourself sharing the stage with the likes of Jamie Foxx, Nelly, Dave Chappelle, or a host of others. The reason I mention these people in particular is that I have personally witnessed this.
The weather in LA also lends itself to the hustle as you feel more inspired to be out because the weather is so amazing most of the time. The competition is tough in LA but if you are talented, you will be noticed and sometimes that is all it takes. As far as the living situation, just like New York, you may need a roommate. Try living in certain parts of the valley or south LA because you may find the rent a bit cheaper in those places. LA doesn’t have the greatest public transportation either so if you can’t afford a car, staying central in the city is probably your best option to access public transportation.
