one man project

Last updated: Wed Oct 22 2025 09:22:20 GMT+0300 (Eastern European Summer Time)

Description

A "one man project" represents music created entirely or predominantly by a single artist who handles all aspects of composition, performance, and production independently. These projects span diverse genres and styles, unified by their solitary creative vision rather than collaborative compromise. The tag emphasizes artistic autonomy and self-sufficiency, often resulting in deeply personal, experimental work that reflects one individual's complete musical identity.
