MICHELLE E. ARTHURTON

Ms. Arthurton has been playing a pivotal role in the Reggae industry, specifically in management and the legal processes for over fifteen (15) years, thus making her an expert in the genre.

Realizing she had an interest in the legal field, Ms. Arthurton pursued a BA in English and Literature at the University of the Virgin Islands and did various specialization modules in Paralegal Studies. She also completed her studies in Music Business (Music Specialist) at Berkley College of Music.

To further cultivate her passion for the entertainment industry, Ms. Arthurton initiated MEA Productions, a concert promotions company that primarily focuses on artist bookings, music publishing and copyrights.

In 1994 Michelle’s background led her to a position as an on-air personality for the radio station WSTA. While there she interviewed international recording artists and further deepened her knowledge and access to industry insiders.

The new millennium influenced new opportunities for Ms. Arthurton. Upon her relocation to the United States in 2000, she continued to work in the legal arena while maintaining a strong presence in the Caribbean music industry.

Her dynamic nature disallows her to exist in artistic confinement, as such, with experience freelancing as a fashion model on the runways of St. Thomas, as well as in television and print advertising in her spare time; Michelle Arthurton is currently solidifying her clothing line concept which is due for release soon.

Additionally, Ms. Arthurton has made a positive impact as an advocate with various Not-for-Profits, particularly those relating to Autism. Her involvement with a myriad of Autism awareness foundations speaks volume. While she continues to makes strides within Corporate Entertainment, her philanthropic work continues to brighten her aura.
