That's not accurate at all
Most spoiled rich kids that make it into the music industry are signed to major labels and got their deals through their family connections. Independent artists are much more commonly from poorer backgrounds and aren't born with a foot in the door to the business. The problem is though, the industry is now in a situation where music doesn't sell anymore and streaming services pay so little that it makes it very difficult to be an independent artist and make a living and be able to compete commercially with major label acts, even though there are more opportunities and avenues for independent artists to succeed than ever before.
