It arrived with the 4.0 release of the standard, which dates the man singer to 2016.
Same character every time — U+1F468 U+200D U+1F3A4 never changed. Only the drawing did, and only because each vendor redraws its own set. Someone on an older phone still sees the older picture.
Man Singer was approved as U+1F468 U+200D U+1F3A4 and shipped in Emoji 4.0 (2016). Phones usually get new artwork about a year after approval, in a system update.
Every vendor keeps its own artwork, so 👨🎤 is redrawn by Apple, Google, Twitter / X, Facebook, OpenMoji. The character you send never changes — only the picture does.
