Efficient and intelligent music information retrieval is a very important topic of the 21st century. With the ultimate goal of building personal music information retrieval systems, this paper studies the problem of identifying "similar" artists using both lyrics and acoustic data. The approach for using a small set of labeled samples for the seed labeling to build classifiers that improve themselves using unlabeled data is presented. This approach is tested on a data set consisting of 43
