Paul Fey – Organist, Composer & YouTuber

Paul Fey is a German organist, composer, and YouTuber, born in 1998 near Leipzig, Germany. His musical journey began in kindergarten with early childhood music education, followed by classical guitar and piano lessons.

At around age 15, he discovered his passion for the pipe organ in his local church and began studying the instrument intensively. He initially took lessons with A. F. Kipping and later studied under Stefan Kießling, the former assistant organist at the Leipzig Thomaskirche.

After completing a three-year commercial apprenticeship at MDR (Mitteldeutscher Rundfunk), Fey decided to pursue formal studies in church music at the University of Music in Halle (Saale). He now works full-time as a musician, composer, and YouTuber.

Since then, he has served as the repetiteur for the Kurrende groups at St. Thomas Church in Leipzig, where he collaborates with the church’s children’s choirs and the church choirs.

Fey gained international recognition through his popular YouTube channel, where he regularly uploads organ performances and original compositions. His videos attract over a million viewers each month, helping him build a global fanbase.

As a composer, Paul Fey has published several collections of organ music for occasions such as Advent, Christmas, Easter, and general festive use. His works are known for their melodic clarity and accessibility and are available worldwide.

Paul Fey stands out for combining traditional church music with modern media, making organ music more approachable—especially to younger audiences. His performances reflect both reverence for sacred music and a fresh, engaging style that marks him as one of Germany’s most innovative young church musicians.
