I found this on stack overflow to create background music in your app: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/7619794/play-music-in-the-background-using-avaudioplayer

- (void)viewDidLoad
{
    NSURL *url = [NSURL fileURLWithPath:[[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:@"in-the-storm" ofType:@"mp3"]];
    AVAudioPlayer *audioPlayer = [[AVAudioPlayer alloc] initWithContentsOfURL:url error:nil];
    [[AVAudioSession sharedInstance] setCategory:AVAudioSessionCategoryPlayback error:nil];
    [[AVAudioSession sharedInstance] setActive: YES error: nil];
    [[UIApplication sharedApplication] beginReceivingRemoteControlEvents];
    [audioPlayer play];
    [super viewDidLoad];
}

This will have a song playing in the background when a view is loaded. Maybe try and take this same concept and add it to the artist titles so that when they are clicked, the playback will begin. You will obviously need to store the tracks as well. Don't be afraid to google! Stack Overflow is a fantastic resource for when you get stuck.
