I would suggest you try and find some like-minded musicians rather than going solo. Many already famous artists try and fail at going solo... This isn't to discourage you, it isn't impossible and if you want it bad enough you'll do whatever it takes to reach your goals.

However I'm sure there are other musicians in your area that enjoy the same softer styles that you do and you could try and find out if anyone else is interested in forming a new band with you.
