If You Want To Work In Music, You Should Probably Live In 1 of These 10 Cities

The obvious places for people who want to get into music are NYC and L.A., but there are also a handful of other cities that are booming in the music industry and can give you high chances of landing a gig in the biz. In terms of concentration of music industry jobs, Nashville is tops with 7.8 per 1,000 residents, according to EMSI data in the report. Los Angeles is a distant second with 2.8.
