solo project

One-person creative work

A solo project is creative work undertaken by one person, typically someone known for collaborative work.

Musicians release solo projects apart from their bands: Her solo project explores a softer sound than her group's material.

The term implies both independence and a temporary departure—the person remains associated with their usual collaborators but pursues something individually.
