John Paul Hayward has his works regularly performed by various orchestras and choirs around the United States, including the Utah Chamber Artists, who he continues to have a working relationship with today. He has written, produced, and recorded four studio albums ranging from large choral/orchestral works to small ensemble and solo string collections. John Paul has scored several short films, commercials, and provided auxiliary music and recordings for various video game soundtracks. In 2019 John Paul had the pleasure of working closely with Rire-Woodbury Dance company, Flying Bobcat productions, and The Red Fred Project to create an original soundtrack for a staged production of "The Live Creature and Ethereal Things" which featured original music covering a variety of styles, genera, and ensembles. While his passion for film and video game soundtracks can readily be heard in his compositions and arrangements, his music is often credited as being "romantically dramatic" in style, while retaining a strong air of sophistication. John Paul owns and operates Hayward Publishing​ which offers professional recording, remote studio musician contracting, and printing services to other producers, composers, and musicians around the world.
