In celebration of Earth Day, we’re proud to share the latest installment of The Green Room series, spotlighting how our community of green composers are shaping the future of music through environmentally conscious production practices.
The Green Room forms part of our wider Green Production Music initiative, a commitment to setting a new benchmark for sustainability across the music industry.
In this episode, we travel to Castle Cary in Somerset, England, to meet composer Steve Everitt. From creating space for nature around his home to beekeeping, embracing remote collaboration, and powering his studio with solar energy, Steve has embedded sustainability into both his lifestyle and creative process when composing music for Universal Production Music’s world-class catalog. His approach demonstrates how thoughtful, forward-thinking practices can reduce environmental impact without compromising creativity.
Watch the full video below to discover more about Steve’s unique home studio and how his commitment to sustainability is helping inspire change and drive a greener future for production music.
Steve Everitt is a composer, beekeeper, and gardener who has converted his space into a private nature reserve. He has planted over 1000 trees and is committed to restoring ecological balance. Steve's ongoing installation of solar panels to power his studios and accommodations for artist-producers serves as an inspiring example of what can be achieved with sustainable living.
