'der Musiker' and 'die Musikerin' both mean a person who makes music. The most important difference is grammatical gender, and usually also the person being referred to: 'der Musiker' is used for a man or in a general sense, while 'die Musikerin' is used for a woman. Learners may confuse the words because the activity is the same. So the difference is not in the type of music, but in who you are talking about. If you mean a woman, 'die Musikerin' sounds more precise and natural.
