Global icon TEN is entering an unprecedented era of artistic independence. Hot on the heels of announcing his first solo U.S. showcase tour, the Thai multi-hyphenate artist has released a brand-new double single featuring the tracks “OUTWEST” and “IRL.”

This release marks TEN’s first official music project since co-founding ILLIMNT, a global creative company and IP hub. Representing the first project completely overseen by TEN from concept to execution, the dual release highlights his evolution into a director of his own artistic path, with songwriting credits on both tracks.

The two songs offer fans a distinct, two-sided musical experience that showcases TEN’s dynamic range. “OUTWEST” reaches outward, blending hip-hop, tech house, and R&B into an innovative, genre-bending sound. In contrast, “IRL” turns inward toward everyday life, serving as an energetic, bright ode to the dedicated community that has supported him throughout his ten-year career.

To celebrate this new chapter, TEN will bring his full musical catalog to the stage for a 14-city U.S. tour. The journey kicks off on October 17 in Seattle, traveling through major cities including Portland, San Francisco, San Diego, Los Angeles, Phoenix, Houston, Dallas, Minneapolis, Chicago, Atlanta, Baltimore, and Boston, before concluding with a grand finale in New York on November 10. Full ticketing details and venue announcements are now available through official channels.

Widely recognized as a key member of global groups WayV, NCT, and SuperM, TEN has established a formidable international reputation as a multilingual performer, global Saint Laurent ambassador, and high-fashion cover star. As an independent soloist under ILLIMNT, he builds on a massive legacy that includes over 460 million solo streams, chart-topping releases like his mini-album STUNNER, and multiple music program wins.
