PAUL FILEK

Turn it up, this one’s personal.

I've been writing and releasing music since 2006.

From the early albums to the songs I'm creating today, each release captures a different chapter of my life.

Listen To My Music

From my first album in 2006 to the songs I'm writing and producing today, music has always been a way for me to tell stories and capture moments in my life.

My sound has evolved through folk, pop, and country, but the heart of my songwriting has stayed the same.  Real experiences, honest lyrics, and music that means something to me.

Have a listen! I hope you find something that connects with you.

Little Heart Lullaby

Built around the sound of my son's heartbeat, recorded before he was born, Little Heart Lullaby is one of the most personal songs I've ever written.

Give it a listen.

I hope it means as much to you as it does to me.
