Why would I want to pay 20 bucks to an artist I don't know and haven't heard before? Pretty sure that is not how new bands are able to get off the ground and make it. You need to put out a CD and tour (and make revenue off both) to keep doing the same.

You wouldn't. Release some samples first. Play at venues. Make a name for yourself. Make people want more.
Why would you want to hire a hacker you don't know and haven't seen work from? Either you take a chance on someone who looks good on paper without seeing any of their work, or you look for someone who has already demonstrated their ability. The same thing applies to artists.
