Jonathan Hugh Quarmby (born 20 December 1961 in Huddersfield), is an English record producer and songwriter and son of English architect Arthur Quarmby.
 Early life
 Jonathan Hugh Quarmby was born on December 20,1961, in Huddersfield, the son of music teacher Jean and architect, Arthur Quarmby. Arthur was an innovative designer, author and thinker, renowned for his work in modular plastics and earth sheltered housing. Educated at Holmfirth Comprehensive, then Pocklington School, Jonathan went on to study architecture at Sheffield University. Having always had a passion for music, he soon became part of Sheffield’s vibrant music scene, eventually moving away from architecture to pursue music as a career.
 Sheffield
 Jonathan started as a keyboard player, performing on Yazz’s album Wanted and touring with a local band, Floy joy. His transition to record production came with Barclay artists Fred de Fred. Jonathan then collaborated with Axis Studio-based Comsat Angels bass player Kevin Bacon to write and produce Ephraim Lewis's album Skin for Elektra Records. This partnership (Bacon and Quarmby) went on to produce and write in a diverse range of music styles: electro as R&S artists Manna, Britpop with the Longpigs, pop /soul with Lighthouse Family and were most publicly lauded for their contribution to reggae: Finley Quaye (Maverick a Strike) - for which Finley won the ‘Best Male’ Brit Award and Ziggy Marley (Fallen Is Babylon), for which they received the ‘Best Reggae Album’ Grammy award.
 London - RAK Studios
 Relocating from Sheffield to London's RAK Studios in 2003, Jonathan and Kevin embarked on a prolific journey of music production, including Primal Scream,  Mew, the Sugababes, David Garrett, Plan B, The Pretenders,  Richard Hawley and Ders'ree.

Awal  redefined online aggregation, with its 30 day none negotiable agreement and data tracking and analysis tool, Buzzdeck. With offices in Sheffield and London,The business grew eventually distributing over 3000 independent artists including The Arctic Monkeys, David Gray, and Madness.
In 2012 AWAL was sold to Kobalt, (who went on to sell it to Sony in 2021 for $430,000,000) !! Jonathan, Kevin and Denzyl were retained by Kobalt for two years.
 Back to RAK
 In 2014 Jonathan returned to RAK and music creation, this time focussing equally on song writing and production. Initially managed by Richard Antwi, he worked with Daley, Mahalia and Jacob Banks, before achieving his first significant success with Benjamin Clementine, who’s album At Least For Now which won the Mercury prize in 2015. Jonathan had a part in the writing and produced and mixed the whole album (the track Nemesis is also the theme to Apple’s critically acclaimed drama - 'The Morning Show’).
