Dan Leyes' Music
Behind the Scenes With Dan Leyes
Since I was young, being involved in the process of creating music has brought me great joy and satisfaction. I worked behind the scenes with major label performers as a younger man but left the music business in the early 1980s. Although I have been writing songs since my teens, I rarely shared my music with others until fairly recently. The songs included here span 30 years of songwriting.
So, welcome to my music site. Hope you enjoy something you hear. Would love to hear from you.
Featured Song
This duet with the incomparable Sahara Moon will appear on my upcoming EP, A Single Step. It was recorded at Acorn Digital Studios and produced by John Mulrennan.
Some other stuff...
Music Videos
Since I do not have access to a recording studio, the only way I can share my songs is to create quick YouTube videos of me playing my songs. Obviously sound quality isn't great, but you can get a taste of the song anyway.
If you record yourself covering one of my songs I'll add it to the website and try to bring you as much attention as I can.

Lullaby for Candice & Lauren
This is a song I wrote around the turn of the century, although the original idea goes back twenty years prior. It was written for my nieces when they were little girls. The video features their school photos through the years. I attempt to play the piano and sing. I also overdubbed some bells or something in there.

Home to You
This song was born from one too many nights coming home alone to an empty apartment. Hope you enjoy it.
