Ledy Pa Records (pronounced "Ledee Pay") is the creation of Mike & Jim Nickras. Founded in 1993, the purpose of this label has been to release, with some level of professionalism, the recorded creations of the two bands: Nirass and Stü Art.

Though neither performed publicly, both adopted a "live in the studio" approach to recording and performance. All music and lyrics are original. And, no one has been paid for what they do... music for the sake of music; tangibles for the fun of it.

In 2005, the label expanded its presence with the release of non-music material.
