Transforming Places Into Art Spaces

Where's the Talent At?

Motor City (Detroit) is known for Motown and music...singers from this area are often exptected to sing well. New York is the metropolis for many aspiring acts as is LA. Where do you think the talented ones are? Is there one place in particular that gets overlooked?

Permalink Reply by Universal Africana on May 1, 2008 at 5:54pm: There's talent all over, I believe. It's just getting that talent seen on the surface, that's the issue...

It's all about access to exposure. Some just aren't able to break out of the local scene, or even establish a scene locally. Whether it's music, film, or art...you need a way of getting the word out that you exist, ans that you're creating quality work.

That's just my opinion.....; ▶ Reply to This

Permalink Reply by stargoddess on August 26, 2009 at 4:45pm: I agree with you for the most part on this statement....
The best talent are unsigned, afraid of success or suffering from lack of support, pride/ego or depression. I agree with the saying "Shit rises to the top" no matter what industry it is.; ▶ Reply to This
