about me
mix engineer, music producer, musician
From a very early age, I was a musician - initially a pianist and shortly after that, a guitarist and singer.
At the same time, I developed a penchant for recording the songs I wrote, starting on a dual-deck cassette recorder, moving on to a 4-track, and then using computers. I fronted a metal band called Monokey, a studio project called Beneath The Dirt, and an ongoing solo project called DiceJar.
After recording my own music, this progressed into recording other bands, which continued further into regularly working with a wide variety of different artists, helping to turn their sounds and visions into full-on productions.
I went to the University of West London where I was awarded a First Class Honors degree in Music Technology which helped to encourage my career. This developed further into working in multiple recording studios in London, including the YouTube Space, where I worked on events and live recordings for some well-known artists, such as Linkin Park, Lewis Capaldi, Muse, Miles Kane, The Temperance Movement, and many more.
After the YouTube Space closed, those production rooms reopened as a new entity - Rews Digital Studios - at which I was the Head of Audio for some time.
I write library music and have a YouTube channel called James Arter Music, which specialises in creating videos in music production and mixing - view some videos below or access the full channel here. Also, I used to host a metal radio show/podcast called The Heavy Show, of which you can still listen to some of the previous episodes here.
I subsequently relocated from London to Liverpool in search of new adventures and now operate from both.
