Add missing type to 15 Artists in MusicBrainz

Artists are one of the most central entities in MusicBrainz. We generally group them in "people" (individuals) and "groups" (e.g., bands), though there are also a few other types. As of the writing of this task, MusicBrainz has 1,299,860 artists in the database, but 303,445 (23.3%) of these have no type set.

This task is to find 15 artists in MusicBrainz that do not currently have their "type" attribute set.

Research these artists (e.g., look at Wikipedia pages, news articles, band websites, etc.) to find out their type.
Once you have determined the artist's type, you should edit the artist and include all your sources that helped you determine their type in an edit note.

Provide links to the edits where the type is being set/changed for the artist when submitting the task.
