solo careers
Post-band professional paths
Solo careers are the individual professional paths musicians pursue after leaving or alongside a group.
The term appears almost exclusively in entertainment contexts, especially popular music: After the band broke up, all four members launched solo careers.
A solo career lets an artist step out from a collective identity to establish their own artistic vision and public persona.
