These are very good points. I fit those requirements almost perfectly.
Self-taught: check
Some college, no CS degree: check
Play an instrument(several): check
Artist of type X: pseudo check (I'm an amateur photographer)
I think it makes sense under those guidelines where when I interviewed with Facebook in 2009, I ended the conversation after 10 minutes with one of their engineers. Completely the wrong fit for a frontend engineer worth their salt.
