Doesn't matter when Madmazel started to work or whom she's been working with or how many band she's created and how many disbands she's been into. All that matters is that she hopes to become THE Madmazel, and very soon.

Pronounced like 'Stain' - but with more emphasis on the A than the I. This name was gifted to me by my older brother who has autism, and in an attempt to say my given name (Stephen) he pronounces it as Stayne. I love this name and it is great to have a moniker that carries a deeper meaning behind it. 

If you are seeking a message of self reflection and humility then you have arrived at your destination. Not so much with my first single and a little more with my second. But definitely with my third single - 'Who's Dead, How's the Weather?'
My passion for music certainly lies in writing lyrics that alleviate my own demons with the hope that this will carry across to my listeners. 

Almost every track from my debut EP to be released in 2020 could be titled 'Life.' Like most of us at 21 years old, I have no idea what will become of my life and sometimes this scares me. However, I see the bright side of this as we live in a world of opportunity with endless possibilities. 

I am incredibly fortunate to have a platform to share my music with you. I hope you love it as much as I do.

Take care, 

Stayne.

I want those who dig my art, to see all of me. Here, you will find an inner-galactic shuttle into the dark and effulgent creativity that drops through me as often as it feels.

Creating a unique blend of electronic indie pop, Leisure Theory is the project of Irish producer, Jake Smith.

Receiving airplay on BBC Introducing Manchester, BBC Northern Ireland, Amazing Radio and being chosen as a “Fresh Fave” of BBC 6 Music's Tom Robinson, Leisure Theory began playing shows across the north of England including notable supports with Porij and Rachel K Collier before returning home to Derry, Ireland for a run of sold-out homecoming shows.

2023 saw a return to the original Leisure Theory mission statement of creating heavier, sequencer-led tracks that fizz with energy and a newfound urgency.
The result – A Joy, A Pleasure, A Privilege, the 4th EP from Leisure Theory was released in May 2023.
