Regardless if you buy into the "digital arts" or not in society, it's STILL there & thriving... You have up and coming artists in schools studying and practicing hours upon hours in tiny practice rooms to become great musicians whether it be in a concert setting or broadway musical, and you have your "basement" artists that still put in practice time but don't necessarily need to spend the endless time in classrooms or practice rooms all to be successful because most of that "educated" talent is purchased through a digital mechanism.
This expands out to more art classifications rather than just music. People who have no school education in photography can easily learn to "Photoshop" or edit pictures with the push of a button or a few minutes of an online tutorial on how to use software to create artwork for you. But, music is my main field of focus, so I don't wanna branch to far into the photography and painting realm...
Below are a few examples of artists in the digital arts scene of this era. Don't get me wrong, there are some artists out there that truly have been educated in college or conservatories and are really great musicians, but there are still those people that are out there that have just sat in their parents basement with more time on their hands than they know what to do with and have read and watched tutorials on how to make and produce music. And they're sneaking into jobs that normally would've been given to a well rounded musician.
