Obviously someone monetizing your music instead of yourself is an extremely hypothetical scenario, but it's just to make a point. Obviously the music itself isn't scarce once it's on the internet and ...
You're right that the labor you put in to create something is scarce.
This is quite similar to software development, which is where FOSS is clearly working. Devs put a lot of scarce time into writing the code, but then the result is non scarce information, and there's no marginal cost to share it with someone else.
The entire cyberspace is built on this model, and countless people are making a great living with this approach.
I see no reason why it shouldn't work with music too.
