THE SILLY BIO 😜 (entertaining, accurate to my personality): Hi! I’m Emma (aka Space Cowboy Newt) and I’m a silly little sound guy! This is my silly bio! I’m an audio engineer, producer, and mixer on staff at Big Nice Studio in Lincoln, RI, and I love waveforms! I love seeing them form in Pro Tools and manipulating them to sound great in your little ears!! I love producing all genres! I love recording projects of all sizes, styles, and scopes! I love mixing absolutely anything!! I’ve been producing/engineering professionally since 2018, freelanced for a while, and joined the Big Nice team in 2021. I also am for hire as a studio musician! I have 21 years of experience on the piano, 15 on the harp, and a lifetime of vocals.
THE SERIOUS BIO 🥱 (professional, braggy, less overwhelming): Emma Newton is a freelance, multi-skilled audio engineer and musician based in New England.

They began writing songs in middle school and producing their own music in high school. Since then, Emma has interned, trained, and then worked at Encore Music Academy and Recording Studios in Franklin, MA as an audio engineer and arranger. Emma is now on staff producing, engineering, and mixing music at Big Nice Studio in Lincoln, RI.
