Hello, I am Paya Lehane!

I am a music writer, producer, vocalist and a multi-instrumentalist, based in Hampshire, UK. I’ve worked with a number of great artists such as a multi-award winning band PERKELT UK, Grammy-award winning producer YOUTH (Suriya Recordings), Gwendolyn Snowdon NL, Tailor Birds AUS, CENRIS UK and many others. I love making music of all kinds, working on collaborative projects with other artists and my true passion is in creating and exploring the world of art!!


I compose and produce music in various genres. As a vocalist and a multi-instrumentalist I use the advantage of bringing my own live performance, originality, atmosphere and dynamics into musical creations. When it comes to playing an instrument my main expertise is in recorder playing but I also record other instruments like tin whistles, keyboard, harp, jaw harps and small percussion.

As well as writing songs with a clear structure I also love building dark ambient and atmospheric soundscapes that create suspense and a sense of supernatural haunting…Perfect for a horror movie.

For over 15 years I’ve been working as a full time music composer, performer and a recording artist which helped me to obtain knowledge, skill and general experience in music production.

I am here to offer you my services as a composer, producer and a recording musician. I can work within any music genre and I am happy to make music for all kinds of projects including dance & theatre groups, independent films, video games, TV, documentaries, historical reenactments, festivals, advertisement, showreels, radio podcasts, private or corporate events.

FAQs

What do you include in your work?

I produce ( write/record ) original music, then mix and master it for you unless you require the files in raw stems. I also offer remote recording sessions as a recorder player & vocalist. NOTE: If you want me to write an original & royalty-free, a cappella recorder music for you I can do so although please note that my required minimum length per music piece is 2-3mins ( of which cost per a single channel – £125), for a 4-5 mins of written and recorded music I typically charge £220 ($300)

How much do you charge per project?

The fee varies depending on the project’s scope and complexity. You can contact me directly for a tailored quote.
