Break yo'self fool!
Wasn't even sure what to call this thread... But I thought it was a pretty interesting topic wherever you maybe from. I'm going to bore you with a little story first though.
Last week, I was in New York(on holiday)... Loved the place, everyone was on point, girl's were straight up stunner's, no one tried playing games with me (includes girls... Not even the taxi drivers). PLUS fashion week was on, so chatting to a few models was a bit of fun. Anyway, I spent like a week there, in that week I bumped into so many people who I'm now planning on collaborating with. Went to a record shop down in Greenwich, browsed the records, bumped into someone there, exchanged contacts. Went shopping Macy's, bumped into three people, a guy who has a dance group, and a girl who's a singer, and a rapper(who seemed to have an aggression problem, but he was cool). Again, exchanged contacts. There were also a few other people, a model/actress I met in Barns & Nobles on 5th Ave, who I shall never know the name of. A few generally nice dudes in a few Starbucks too. Anyway, back to my point. I was there a week, met three people I've already reconnected with and we're ALREADY in talks about collaborating in some way. I loved the city, and I'm desperately looking into moving out to NYC now(If only getting a visa was easy)! Which raises my question...
Where I'm from doesn't have a superb music scene, you get a few rock and jazz bands, but otherwise, there's no where for Hip Hop artists to build a buzz. Have you ever felt like you NEEDED to move away to a better location to try and further your music career?
When I have some free time, I'm going to head down to London (haven't been in a while!), check out the clubs and things, try and connect with people over like a long weekend or something, and see what happens. I definitely want to move to New York within the next like 5-10 years... Which poses another question... When I got home, I spent a few hours just scrolling through NYC agencies... And seemed to find a lot of foreigners on these agencies, who when I checked their twitters and things lived in NYC... I even found one who had been granted either a visa or green card a few days before... Does that mean if I was to join an agency, I could possibly look to move out to NYC and gain a visa on an 'extraordinary ability' basis? The model in question didn't to seem to have any special talents. She was on one agency worldwide, and I have never seen nor heard of her.
Interested to see what you guys have to say. I haven't really contributed here, or been on here for a while. Felt like it was time to start a discussion!
