I think that you can. Try this (i'm have not a Drupal site in my hand now)

Edit your view and "add arguments", chouse Node: nid,  chouse "Provide 
default argument", chouse "PHP Code" (in "Provide default argument 
options" fieldset). Now if your url is "

/artists/name-of-the-artist/biography" than:

arg(0): artists
arg(1): name-of-the-artist
arg(2): biografy
(and so on...)

Now with your PHP code retrive nid from "name-of-the-artist" arg(1) and put "return $nid" (where $nid is your node nid variable). Example

[CODE]
$nid = function_that_retrieve_nid(arg(1));
return $nid;
[/CODE]

Try this.
