A musical instinct
Born and raised in Sterling Heights, Michigan, Jeffrey was drawn to his great-grandmother’s piano at age two. He taught himself to play by ear at six and began composing original music by eleven.
From a $1,000 loan to 30 billion+ streams.
An independent music company built from one teenager’s belief that instrumental music could meet people exactly where they were.
Independent music,
built by instinct.
Fireheart Music is an independent record label and production company representing a focused collective of 20 composers and musicians. Together, they create instrumental music for relaxation, wellness and mindfulness through a carefully developed family of artist identities.
The catalog spans sleep, baby lullabies, spa and massage, study and focus, meditation, yoga, stress relief, binaural beats, EMDR-informed music and solfeggio frequencies. Founded by award-winning composer, pianist and recording artist Jeffrey Michael Deary, Fireheart has sold more than two million albums and downloads and generated over 30 billion streams worldwide.
Available across Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon Music, YouTube Music and other major platforms, Fireheart has grown from one teenager’s piano recordings into a global independent music company without losing the personal creative instinct that began it.
The first $1,000
At fifteen, Jeffrey borrowed $1,000 from his father to record his original piano compositions. Sales at his high school repaid the loan within two weeks and established the roots of Fireheart Music.
8,000 cassettes
By graduation, Jeffrey had sold 8,000 cassettes to classmates by marketing his instrumental piano recordings as “Studying Music.”
From Michigan to a national audience
After studying business and music technology, Jeffrey toured the country, performing piano at Borders and Barnes & Noble, in concerts and as a featured performer at many of the nation’s top art festivals.
A move into music for picture
Jeffrey relocated to Los Angeles and expanded his composition work across film, television, movie trailers, advertising, interactive experiences and video games.

Jeffrey founded Fireheart Entertainment, bringing his experience in composition, screenwriting and storytelling into independent film and television production.
A global independent catalog
Fireheart’s 20 composers and musicians create through a family of artist identities spanning more than 8,000 albums and compilations, two million sales and over 30 billion streams.
From wellness to the screen.
