see the help on filters:

> **[Filter and Search – Mp3tag Documentation](https://docs.mp3tag.de/filter/)**
>
> Documentation on Filter and Search and keywords to form complex filter expressions. Mp3tag is the universal Tag Editor.

You could start with simply typing in  
`bro`  
or a little more specific:  
%artist% HAS bro  
or even more specific  
%artist% MATCHES ^bro
