I am from london
Lol this is crazy, but who knows I can find some god advice here!
Ok, I'm a guitarist and songwriter who has achieved alot this year in LA, the city I love. Now that the summer has arrived I have two choices. 1) stay in los angeles and have the time of my life but put my music dream to the side...also i have no job so ill be spending all my money...also dont know anybody but count on my social skills...b) go home to dreary london and lock myself up in a room all summer studying music...dark and depressing but when come bk to la next semester im all ready to conguer the music world!
so both are extremely amazing yet both have their serious down sides...
whats more important? should i go home and study or stay and have fun?
tx for ur time people :)

I mean go back to "dreary" London and get to work ASAP! no one becomes successful just by fooling around and having fun bro! this career well, any good career takes time, patience, and most of all dedication! don't waste your money and most of all time fooling around in L.A NOT working on what you love to do best!
- I say go back to London awwww... yes indeed go back and get to work on creating amazing music for the world to appreciate and love... in the end all your work if done correctly and with patience will pay off like you have never imagined! hey! you might even say to yourself: "I am so glad I did not waste my time here in L.A one time when I coud have been working... look at me now! THIS IS AMAZING!" ha ha
- I know it might not seem like a good idea to you at all but life is all about making important sacrifices to get closer to ones greatest goals.
- In the end like I told you, it will all be worth it because believe it or not, you might just end up living in L.A! haha
- Don't let anyone or anything stop you from being the best you can be in order to achieve your greatest dreams dream big and act big! get to work my friend! and share your music with the world in a later future when you will be having true fun in L.A!
I wish you the best bud and keep strong.

AHHHHH!!!!! ok now that changes everything bro!
- I say make sure they are serious about working with you and most of all that they believe in your work! they might just be offering to help you for the money and that's just not a correct thing to do.
- If you think you are ready, (by me saying ready, I mean that you MUST feel it in your heart bro) if you are confident that the material you have right now is up and ready for the world, and it is an honest representation of you as an artist, then go ahead and do it.
- If you know for sure that you still need to work on some things making them the best of the best, I say take your time and don't rush it at all, the people offering you to help you record your material will understand if they really want to help you and will continue the offer if they are interested in you.
- I think it is important to know who you are working with and sit down or give them a call and if you are ready, let them know and get working! =)... but if you come to the conclusion that right now it is no the time, then let them know that there are things you still need to fix/and or think through before you take this HUGE step because you are going to record bro this is huge and it can ultimately make or break you... and of course you want to bring your BEST material to the table!
- If you are READY, go for it and make magic bro if you are not, give them a call and they will understand and keep in contact with you for when you are. If they have a true interest in you, they WILL NOT just let you go think about it if they do, they are not worth it and I am sure you will get another offer because of your hard work!.
- If anything feel free to E-mail me and let me know how everything turns out and or is going for you.
- I wish you the best bro!
take care,

It seems like you are looking for us to encourage you to stay in LA (ex: "dark and dreary" london, lock myself up, etc.) which might be fun, but it might not be helping you in the long run with your music career and all. However, the choice is ultimately yours so you know better then me :) goodluck with whatever you do!
