Solo artists are musicians who perform and create music independently, without being part of a band or group. They often write their own songs, play instruments, and may produce their own recordings. This allows them to express their unique style and vision, making their music distinct. Many solo artists gain recognition through live performances, social media, and streaming platforms. They can work across various genres, such as pop, rock, hip-hop, or country. Notable solo artists include Beyoncé, Ed Sheeran, and Taylor Swift, each of whom has made significant contributions to the music industry.
