Meet Julie
Julie Bartley (She/Her) is an experienced and versatile Music Producer, Sound Engineer and Composer who founded her audio production company Rolling Audio in January 2011. She is based within the Cupola Studios collective in Newcastle.
Julie works with a diverse range of creatives to produce high quality music and audio. She has experience of producing albums, singles, EPs, demos, podcasts, audio dramas, sound installations, audio descriptions, audio books, meditation/guided visualisations, field recordings and sound design. Julie also writes and produces her own compositions for commissions, sync and her own pleasure!
Inspired by producing and collaborating with all-female musical collective Beccy Owen and The Refuge, Julie has a passion for supporting and empowering those who may have previously experienced exclusion from or discomfort within traditional studio and performance settings, in particular: women, gender minorities, members of the Global majority, disabled and neurodivergent people and members of the LGBTQIA+ community.
Julie’s ever-evolving education and community practice includes delivering workshops and programs in schools, clubs and in community settings; being a Director for community music organisation Core Music CIC; being Project Coordinator of Youth Music’s Key Change Program, who last year delivered the youth-led Find Festival, a family-friendly festival in Hexham; and creating on-going opportunities for emerging artists, established creatives and fellow sound-based practitioners.
Julie is a co-founder of North East Sound Women Network; is an alumni of the Music Leaders Network for women in music; received the Arts Council grant ‘Developing Your Creative Practice (DYCP)’; is a full member of the Music Producers Guild and is active in various other National and International networks for female music producers.
