hey man..
a friend of mine does somewhat similar work, and it took him a long time to get things rolling...
at first it was just being in the shadow if his uber talented brother, who's somewhat of a bigwig producer now in LA....but, years of hard work, small gigs and networking with the right people finally allowed him to quit his day job doing special effects and 3d animation and go into music production fulltime...
he now runs a recording studio and does producing and sound design, and him and his partner have gotten a shit load of great contracts for stuff like (i think) the History Channel, car commercials etc..
not too shabby...they also have more than a few songs they've produced on the radio now...
but, it took years of work and networking to get there.....
my advice would be to do shit loads of either small paying or pro-bono work for anyone....
like cable-access shows, indie movies, anything that will get your name circulated with the right people...
when a paying gig comes along, and you've made the right connections, your name will come up as a 'go-to' guy...same advice goes to most creative jobs...
