Small warning, As I do understand the approach by Salman Riyaz, it seems not to be a reliable approach to overcome something like issue #10 at Spotify, just if this matters for your use case

Retrieve connection between Artist and User profiles · Issue #10 · spotify/web-api

...working with the Spotify API and am wondering how I go about allowing an artist to login and see their own tracks. I was thinking that perhaps all Spotify accounts are linked to Artists once they get an artist profile created?...

I think you should do like this.

Step 1: Get the Display name from spotify using spotify SDK or GET ME API.

GET https://api.spotify.com/v1/me

Step 2: Using that Display name search for the artist in Artist API.

GET https://api.spotify.com/v1/search

You will get the result of that artist.

Step 3: Compare the result what you get with the display name.(Because thier might be other artist also with matching one word of that user's display name). You need to compare it in your code.

Step 4: When you get the result, it will give type as artist and also the artist Id.

Now you know that when a user login in your application, weather he has artist account or not.
