Music in Alabama
May 31, 2007
I live in Alabama and its really hard here to break into the music industry. The problem is that you have to have money to get out of here and since no one ever looks for talent in the major cities of Alabama like Decatur, Huntsville and Birmingham, we get left behind. No knows that we exist. There are great musicians here, great singers like myself and what really gets me is that when you send a tape or a package to a label or major company, 50% of the time they send your stuff back un opened or you just never hear from them…ever. I feel like sometimes we are overlooked on purpose and that the artists in Alabama just get looked at as a little state with no talent but in reality lots of starts came from here, but they all had to “leave” Alabama to be seen and or heard. Unfortunately, everyone is not so fortunate.
