L.A. transplant
Someone who leaves their hometown to come to LA and believes they're going to be rich, even though they have no idea what they're doing.
I left my tiny town to be a singer. Now I'm stuck in a studio with a guy who thinks he's a producer and still uses a walkie-talkie.
My brother moved here to be a musician. He's been playing the same song for five years and still thinks he's gonna be the next Elvis.
My mom came to LA to be a model. Now she's a model for the local grocery store and still wears her wedding dress to work.
