Stuart Newman is a highly experienced broadcast audio engineer, musician and writer with over 20 years of experience in Pro Tools operation and support.

After an anarchic teenage he used his music connections to publish underground music magazine Control! before hooking up with cult video producers Jettisoundz/Visionary to produce documentaries with bands such as The Exploited and The Cockney Rejects.

After moving Control! to the new fangled internet and a stint running a college TV and radio station, he joined newly launched proto-DTT flagship, OnDigital/ITV Digital, where he was submersed into formal broadcast engineer training and climbed to Network Supervisor before a bum football deal sent the station into oblivion!

From the ashes of ITV-D came a connection which saw him join former Sky creative head, Bruce Dunlop's agency, BDA Creative, as a Creative audio engineer.

In 2003, after a year of intense Pro Tools training, he took over BDA's Sparrowhawk Media account. In at the deep end indeed. Promos, long form, adverts, radio shows and ident sound design were abundant in a 10 year tenure.

In 2006 he produced the debut Underclass UK album, a band in hiatus from his teenage. With a resident recordist spot at both Dagenham & Redbridge FC and East London's BH2 club, over 100 acts filmed and recorded for the Punk Lives Live archive. During this time, Stuart moved Underclass UK from the studio to the stage with their debut gig opening for Punk legends the UK Subs.

2012 saw a move to NBC Universal to produce on-air promotions audio for all of their EMEA linear and social channels.

In 2015 he collaborated with former Fits frontman and hypnotherapist, Mick Crudge, to produce the EnTrance self-help audio library, a behemoth project, comprising of over 1000+ hours of guided holistic content which became a successful YouTube channel.

2016 saw Underclass UK record their 5th album, with the band upping the stakes on the live front reaching almost 100 gigs in every cesspit and toilet around the M25, venturing out to sample alternative khazi's from Morecambe to Bournemouth via Norwich, Oldham and even sunny Ramsgate, before going back on hiatus in 2018.

As well as hooking up with Lost-Data productions to cut mini-docs for their Legends of Punk Series , 2018 saw Stuart complete several feature lengths movie scripts and a creation of two TV show pilot scripts.

2023 saw Stuart edge nearer to attaining his first produced writing credit and also a move into Freelance Audio mixing after a cost cutting restructure saw his dubbing mixer role cut. The end of an era and the dawning of a new one....
