Stuart Chatwood, (born Fleetwood, Lancashire, England) is a Canadian musician, best known as the bass guitar/keyboard player for the now defunct rock band The Tea Party. The Tea Party were widely known for fusing together musical styles of both the Eastern and Western worlds, in what they called "Morrocan Roll". In 2001, he won a Juno Award for the best artwork for an album.
Stuart Chatwood is also a composer of videogame soundtracks. He composed the soundtracks for the three most recent PC and console Prince of Persia games developed by Ubisoft Montreal: Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time (2003), Prince of Persia: Warrior Within (2004), and Prince of Persia: The Two Thrones (2005).
