Hi!
Well, i live in a country named Uruguay. For those that doesn´t know, it`s next to Brasil and Argentina.
We are 3.500.000.
This is an old people country, with no world music culture.
It is IMPOSIBLE to make a living out of music, it doesn´t matter how good you are, there`s no enough money on peoples pockets to pay the tickets or cds.
Well, here´s a question for you all:
Imagine you live here, you just can`t live without music, you manage yourself to dedicate to music, record an album with what you know is good in music but you don`t have a THING to do with it. WHAT WOULD YOU DO??? HEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEELP!!! lol (imagine also that you don`t have money to start all over again somewhere new)
There are record labels here, but just for you to have an idea, NO ONE will ever pay you the recording, or anything, labels are just the ones that know a little better how to do things, but they don`t have money to invest.
Sorry for my lame english :$

hmmm, the only advice I can give you is move out to Los Angeles or Nashville, the music capitals of the world...If you are super passionate about music than it would be worth doing. I live out in LA pursuing the whole music career as well and so I believe if there is a will there is a way! good luck!
