With the sheer amount of talent that resides here you can tap into the circle since the nightlife scene here is so close to the industry in that "industry" people here are easily accesible since Atlanta is really a smaller version of Atlanta & NYC in that sense.

Moderator cut: RemovedI have plenty of friends who work in the music industry and since I'm psuedo entrenched on what's going on with the scene, from what I know being here for 9 years, it's plentiful here. You just have to get here network and see where it takes you like anywhere else. But the structure of labels, A&R's, radio stations, etc. are here so get down here and make it happen!

Thank you so much for the advice! Honestly I have been so wrapped up in Florida, I don't even know where to start! I have to start researching. Any other advice on Atlanta in general would help a lot! Thanks again

I own a home in ATL and a condo on South Beach MIA.

ATL = If you are black and have talent (valued by the hip-hop or R&B community) - you can find fantastic v. high-end and prestigious black studios and artists to hook up with here. It will take creativity and hard work to get an "in" but not impossible. Country? A joke. Go to Nashville.

MIA = Industry in MIA is suprisingly strongly biased against blacks and Hip-Hop as a general rule. There are exceptions and a few high-end new artists there to help. Miami Beach is a MECCA for unknown musicians who have TALENT. Owners love variety and outside-the-box creativity. If you are confident, persuasive, talented and (don't discount this: VERY ATTRACTIVE) - there are fantastic opportunities to get into small bars on South Beach. SB is superficial but real - true TALENT coupled with a ATTRACTIVENESS gets your foot in the door. Less competition during the summer months, so a good time to start networking with owners. Don't waste your time with nightclubs - all they play is euro-pop, techno DJ tracks. Downtown MIA - try some small live clubs, there is a burgeoning (but small) new live music industry cropping up for rock and alternative.

Good luck to you . . .
