Stuart Chatwood, (born 22 October 1969 in Fleetwood, Lancashire, England) is a Canadian musician, best known as the bass guitar and keyboard player for the now defunct rock band The Tea Party. The Tea Party were known for fusing together musical styles of both the Eastern and Western worlds, in what they called "Moroccan roll". In 2001, Chatwood won a Juno Award for the best artwork for an album. As of January 2007 he was working with Tea Party bandmate Jeff Burrows as The Art Decay.
Stuart Chatwood is also a composer of video game soundtracks. He composed the soundtracks for six Prince of Persia games developed by Ubisoft Montreal: Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time (2003), Prince of Persia: Warrior Within (2004), Prince of Persia: The Two Thrones (2005), Battles of Prince of Persia (2005), Prince of Persia: Revelations (2005), and Prince of Persia: Rival Swords (2007). The series has been very successful, selling in excess of eight million copies worldwide.
