YouTube: The Unseen Powerhouse Behind Music’s New Age

Discovering Tomorrow’s Stars Today

YouTube has been a cradle for many of today’s music sensations. From humble beginnings, artists like Justin Bieber found global stardom, all thanks to viral YouTube videos. This democratization of talent discovery has shifted the power dynamics in the music industry.
