I heard that there was a recent fan-funded, grammy winner. S/he
independently produced and released a CD that her fan base had
financed in advance.
S/he used a novel business model to throw off the yoke of BIGMUSIC.

Who was s/he?

Hello grthumongous,

You heard correctly.  The artist is Maria Schneider, who won a Grammy
this year for Best Large Jazz Ensemble Album.
