This task can be solved by different ways.  
Here is a proposal, which moves only the media files, and will leave alone other files.

Convert "Tag-Filename"  
Formatstring: $replace(%\_folderpath%'$',%\_directory%'$',%artist%''%\_directory%)''%\_filename%

Here is a proposal, which will create a new folder, which is one level above the folder containing the tracks.

Convert "Tag-Tag"  
Field: \_DIRECTORY  
Formatstring: %\_folderpath%'..'%artist%''%\_directory%
