About

I’m Julie Bartley, music producer, sound engineer and composer based in Newcastle. I run Rolling Audio, where I create and deliver studio and on-location audio for albums, EPs, audiobooks, radio ads and multimedia projects, and I also provide tuition, workshops and mentoring.

My work draws on years of partnership with community and arts organisations and a strong project-management background. I’ve co-produced and engineered critically acclaimed releases, mixed and mastered recent albums, and engineered projects such as She Shanties’ “Lubber’s Hole”. Alongside my studio work, I’ve coordinated youth-focused music programmes, contributed to organisational strategy and safeguarding in not-for-profit roles, and I’m committed to equality and diversity—especially supporting women and gender expansive people in sound and music production.
