It's interesting to me that you say that.
Even two decades ago, the idea of a "solopreneur" was fantastical. You needed people to run a business.
Today, you have bloggers, information entrepreneurs and affiliate marketers making enough money to rival small businesses. And they often run without any employees.
Similarly, you have the idea of the solo artist today who writes his own songs, makes his own music, and even shoots his own music videos, then releases them on his own channel and does his own marketing (Todd Terje comes to mind).
This is possible because of the tools made available to solo artists today, which are, surprisingly, similar to the tools used by solopreneurs (social media marketing tools, access to freelancers, etc.)
