Yeah, I agree, more opportunity, of course. But I think, especially in certain genres, we see a disproportionately high success rate for people of lesser privilege, as compared too "non-creative" pursuits. A lot of times, kids from money don't have much to say, literally, or creatively.
There could be different kinds of privilege. A poor kid that grows up going to a church that just happens to have a bunch of dope musicians playing there, and they let him hang around the church and play all the instruments 24/7. He's not financially rich, but in other ways, his life certainly is.
