YouTube, like a benevolent fairy godmother, has taken all new and promising musicians under its sparkly wings. Many young and talented ‘uns have used this genius portal to get their music across to millions without spending a dime. Not only did some of them manage to get their music heard by atleast a quarter of the world, they also bagged brilliant record deals.
