In the latest episode of Tubefilter's investigative news show, Creator News, we take a look at these paradigm shifts through the lens of traditionally signed Scottish singer-songwriter KT Tunstall (whose 2004 album Eye To The Telescope sold 5 million copies) as well as self-described "DIY artist" Raye Zaragoza, who owns her own record label.
