I’m a songwriter based in LA, and I’d love to hear from anyone who’s part of the NYC music scene! Is it different from LA? What’s the songwriting community like? Tell me everything 👇🏼💖✨

It’s been dead for a long time, it’s just rap and a little rnb and no one is making any money

If you’re an artist…nyc is amazing. If you’re trying to write for other artists….gotta stay in LA :)

NYC music scene is fun!! It’s small but it’s cute, have seen more ppl come from la over the last few years, however everyone I know still takes frequent trips out to la bc not as many artists come through here

It sucks! At least for me, I feel like I can never find a group of ppl who want to collaborate in songwriting. Feels gatekeepy to me

It’s really interesting! I would say LA is stronger in terms of true industry vibes but NY has soooo much. Many record labels based here (republic) and huge music scene, venues, studios, constant shows and performances etc. I think it’s more pervasive in LA tho in my experience

The nyc music scene is amazing! Lots of musicians and people to work with. I’d say the live scene is similar to LA tho in terms of pay to play. I’m from LA but go to NYC a lot for sessions and what not. I’d love to live there at some point
