It's hard to get something like this to take off without seeding content.
It would probably be a good idea to just create a load of artist accounts with artwork/Spotify links etc, and encourage people to upvote them (or whatever your mechanism is). Then after theirs enough fan interaction, contact the artists and let them know of the activity, and let them claim the account.
Pretty straight forward to get the artist data from Spotify API/Last.fm/Discogs etc.
Good luck, always happy to see new ideas to help musicians.
