Who we are:

Tanya Wells' musical inspirations cover diverse genres from folk/ blues/ jazz to Indian classical music and Sufiana Qalam. Naturally, these influences dictate her eclectic singing style and songwriting. Living in London she has worked with the likes of composer Nitin Sawhney, sitarist Anoushka Shankar, vocalists Natacha Atlas and Joss Stone. 

Her YouTube videos and audio recordings of her singing Pakistani songs has gained immense popularity on the internet and fans around the globe! She performs Indian music as well as her original songs live in London and elsewhere around the world. 'The Seed' album with Paulo Vinícius will be her first public debut of original music. 

Paulo Vinícius, originally from Brazil, has studied with the greatest virtuoso guitarists in the classical scene such as Fábio Zanon, Pablo Márquez and Franz Halász and has won several awards for his composition and classical guitar performances including the "Revelation Award" and "Raphael Rabello Award". Upon his arrival in Europe, he was selected to be part of the “Live Music Now” in Munich, founded by the legendary violinist Yehudi Menuhin where over the last four years he was regularly invited to play concerts in Bayern. A researcher of musical performance, Paulo explores innovative approaches for performers' technique and on-stage awareness referring to hindu yogic philosophy and practices.  

As well as playing and composing for this project with Tanya, he is also currently working towards recording an album of solo guitar works which include his own compositions. 

Coming together to record their first studio album together in Brazil in February 2016, Tanya and Paulo have written and composed an album's worth of new material and plan to record them in a studio aided by other fantastic Brazilian musicians in Minas Gerais. Their songs have recently been received enthusiastically by audiences in Europe and the duo are excited about sharing these new songs with wider audiences. 
This is where YOU come in. :) 

What We Need & What You Get

Your donations will go towards making this desire of recording this album a reality, playing from your own sound systems!

We need to raise £ 10.000 (ten thousand pounds)

£ 6000 (six thousand) will cover studio costs and paying all musicians, engineers featured on album.

£ 1.500 (one thousand five hundred pounds) for travel and accommodation - Return flights from London to Brazil and travel within Brazil from Minas Gerais to São Paulo.

£ 1000 (one thousand) for artwork and video recording in Brazil.

£ 1000 (one thousand) for manufacturing costs and online distribution 

£ 500 (five hundred) for mastering


The Impact

'The Seed' is a particularly exciting project because it sprouts (sorry - couldn't resist!) the musical ambitions of both Tanya and Paulo. Having accumulated years of practice and experience both artists are ready to publicly release their works, individually and as collaborators. 

This particular album interweaves their myriad styles and influences, blending together diverse cultures and languages (english/ portuguese/ hindi/ urdu). The impact of a successful campaign will concretise musical relationships between musicians in Brazil, the UK and the Indian subcontinent, allowing for a dynamic cultural exchange and the production of many future creative works to come. 

Please make yourselves part of this creative process by donating to this project! :)

Risks & Challenges

The album material is ready to roll and all musicians are on stand-by however we realise that we may have some challenges if we do not meet our funding goal, which may include set backs of recording the full album in February 2016 in a state of the arts studio in Minas Gerias, Brazil. Other financial set backs may include not being able to pay musicians which would mean simplifying arrangements of the songs and not having as many instruments featured. Regardless of the challenges, we will try our best to go ahead with recording as scheduled and planned.

Other Ways You Can Help

Honestly, any amount of your donations counts! And if you really can't spare a coin then please do share and shout about this campaign on all of your network sites. Thank you :)


Em Português

Quem somos:

Inspirada por diversos gêneros musicais desde o folk americano; blues; jazz; música clássica Indiana and sufiana qalam, Tanya Wells naturalmente transmite seu extasiante estilo composicional e performático. Atuante nos palcos londrinos, Tanya trabalhou com grandes nomes da atualidade, dentre eles Anoushka Shankar, Natacha Atlas e Joss Stone.

Ela alcança um imensa repercussão e popularidade em todo o território do globo com canções tradicionais do Paquistão em seus vídeos acessíveis pelo YouTube! Neste projeto com Paulo Vinícius em 'The Seed', Tanya terá seu debut oficial. Ela aplica a música indiana em suas próprias canções numa combinação única registrada em seu álbum 'Lessons', possivelmente lançado durante este ano.

O violonista e compositor brasileiro Paulo Vinícius, estudou com os maiores virtuoses da cena mundial do violão clássico como Fábio Zanon, Franz Halász e Pablo Márquez.

Com sua chegada no continente europeu, foi selecionado para integrar-se ao “Live Music Now” em Munich fundado pelo legendário violinista Yehudi Menuhin, projeto que propiciou frequentes convites para concertos durantes os últimos anos no estado bávaro. Pesquisador da performance musical, Paulo explora um inovativo caminho performático baseado em práticas e filosofia hindu-yogue.

Além de sua atuação como compositor, arranjador e violonista no 'The Seed' com Tanya Wells, Paulo está trabalhando em seu álbum 'Lucid Dreams' onde apresentará suas obras para violão solo.

Prontos para gravar o primeiro disco juntos com excepcionais músicos brasileiros em fevereiro de 2016 no Brasil, Tanya e Paulo compuseram com toda a entrega as canções cheias de diversidade, apresentando um novo material sonoro, trabalho recebido recentemente com grande entusiasmo por plateias do continente europeu e americano, e agora pretendem com grande alegria expandir essa magia artística com o maior número de apreciadores.

E aqui é onde você entra.


O que nós precisamos & O que você recebe

Suas doações farão possível que o desejo pela gravação dessas novas canções possa tocar em seu aparelho de som, fazendo-nos independentes de qualquer acordo de gravadoras ou produtoras.

Nós precisamos angariar £10.000 (dez mil libras)

£ 6.000 (seis mil libras) cobrirá os gastos com estúdio e com os músicos participantes do álbum (seis músicos ao todo)

£ 1.500 (mil e quinhentos libras) viagens e acomodações

£ 1000 (mil libras) arte gráfica e gravação de vídeos

£ 1000 (mil libras) manufatura e distribuição online

£ 500 (quinhentos libras) masterização

O impacto 

Mais que preparados para publicar nosso trabalho artístico e lançar oficialmente para o mundo nossas canções, 'The Seed' (literalmente 'a semente') é particularmente um trabalho de grande motivação para nós, pois marcará o início de uma jornada artística em acumulados anos de prática e experiência, este disco mostrará nossas diferentes visões da nova canção aplicando conceitos da música clássica indiana na canção ocidental, ritmos e harmonias influenciadas pela música latino-americana em instrumentações variadas, tecendo inumeráveis estilos e influências, entrelaçando culturas em diferentes línguas e gêneros musicais.

Uma campanha de sucesso concretizará a relação artística entre músicos brasileiros, europeus e do subcontinente indiano, proporcionando dinâmica cultural e com isso prováveis futuros trabalhos.

Por favor faça parte desse processo criativo com a sua doação!

Riscos & Desafios

Com o material para este álbum pronto, e todos os músicos à espera, percebemos que nosso maior desafio é viabilizarmos financeiramente este projeto que possivelmente se efetivará nas seções de gravação do mês de fevereiro de 2016 em estúdios no Brasil.

Esse obstáculo financeiro nos impede de realizar com êxito o projeto de modo que seja possível contratar profissionais de qualidade que possam oferecer um trabalho à altura de nossa concepção artística.
