I am trying to: Build a website for musicians where people can update their own profile. There will be 2 types of user types. Muscians (the sellers) and Places (the buyers). Buyers can shop musicians for performances in their club.
Is it possible to build this with types?
Yes, this should be possible.
1) With the Types plugin you can create the different custom post types: musicians and sellers.
Make sure you enable the Author feature for these custom post types.
And create custom fields for any extra information you need.
2) With Access you can make sure that each user will only be able to edit his records.
3) With Views you can display this information to your needs and create a page for the users to administer their posts.
4) With CRED you can create the forms to allow each user to add / edit musicians or sellers.
Let us know any help you need on the way.

It is a marketplace like site. It was better to have 2 type of user type. Musician User Type and Buyers.
Buyers can book performances in their place. (E.g. Like a club that can book an artist)
You can try with that approach too. Access will let you define custom roles too.
I suggest that you take a look at our case studies in search for ideas:
