WildeP'lay
Music To Move You
Donna Wilde and Richard Palalay are the creative spark behind WildeP’lay—a powerhouse duo blending their songwriting and performance chops to deliver “Music To Move You.”
The Peoria Times calls their work "Music that will capture your heart and touch your soul."
Their 2019 debut album Fabric of Love set the tone with heartfelt themes, from the title track’s message of stitching love into everyday life to the unity anthem “Unify, Find a Way.”
Next came “Perfect Here,” a poignant eco-minded reminder that Earth is the perfect home we need to cherish. Still heard regularly on internet radio, it made its live debut on In The Green Room, a show
dedicated to “Saving The Planet One Show At A Time.”
In 2020 WildeP’lay teamed up with vocalist Cornelius Bishop to release “It Matters.” The production was nominated for Best Original Song Composition at the 2022 Worldwide Women’s Film Festival. The trio later appeared on Kathy Blaze’s TV show Desertwood DaZe to discuss the project.
Their 2021 holiday single “Deckin’ Out the Tree” brings all the cozy, nostalgic feels of gathering around the Christmas tree and now plays year-round on Christmas Songs Radio. In 2022, they followed with “Touch,” a glowing tribute to lifelong love inspired by the 50th anniversary of Donna’s parents.
Ever since their first single, “Storm’s Rollin’ In,” WildeP’lay’s music has enjoyed steady radio and internet airplay worldwide. Their growing catalog—fresh originals, reimagined classics, and new arrangements—can be found on YouTube, Amazon, iTunes, Spotify, and most major streaming platforms.
In the STUDIO, WildeP’lay stays busy crafting weekly musical arrangements for the global broadcast of The Fountains online church service. They also write and produce original music for
business websites, radio shows, and online television.
Onstage, they’re known for versatility, heart, and a whole lot of charm. They have lit up stages including Peoria Center for the Performing Arts, Fountain Hills Theater, Sun City Grand’s Sagebrush Ballroom,
Wickenburg Community Center, Chandler Jazz Festival, and Frank Lloyd Wright's Taliesin West.
They've performed for mission-driven organizations such as Make-A-Wish Foundation, Kurt Warner’s Healthy Life Stars, Interfaith Power & Light, Sierra Club, and Green Living Magazine.
