I'm an American singer/songwriter living in Belize. I may be moving to Grenada soon so my wife can attend med school there, in which case we would be spending a year in London for her clinical term.

I am writing music now that is like a mix of Suede, The Manics, The Cult, The Cars, ect.

My goal is to put together a band, play live, and get some sort of deal.

How is the scene there? Competitive? Is it easy to play out a lot? How responsive are the label people to live music? How about music media?

Thanks for the help.
