This is a program to change exactly that. So fill the tags.  
Get the title into the field TITLE  
Enter the artist name in the corresponding field of the tag panel and press Ctrl-S to save the modification.  
Then use the function Convert\>Tag-Filename with the field names that you need.

As apparently you are not really into tagging but fumbling with the filename, get yourself acquainted with the function Convert\>Filename-Filename.  
see the help: [Rearrange Parts of File Names – Mp3tag Documentation](https://docs.mp3tag.de/converters/rearrange-filenames)  
Please note that mask for the new filename also allows scripting functions and text constants.  
And while you are at it: try to use a decent separator between the artist name and the rest - so that if you get the idea that structured text in fields can be handled more easily than amorphous filenames, then it would be easier to import the data into the tag fields. The hyphen is no decent separator as it is part of ordinary text too often.
