Although he began his career as a producer/DJ in the early 1980s creating remixes on analogue tapes it wasn't long before Arthur Baker moved into the higher echelons of the music business producing and collaborating with top US artists including Hall and Oates, Diana Ross and Jennifer Holliday. Meanwhile on the other side of the Atlantic he worked with UK acts such as New Order and The Pet Shop Boys. In the late 1980s some aspects of his work took on a campaigning nature and he produced an anti-gun song titled Leave The Guns At Home sung by Motown legend Al Green. Working with Steve Van Zandt, Baker helped organise and produce the anti-apartheid anthem Sun City and his significant contribution to this project earned him special recognition by the United Nations. In 1989 he released the album Merge under the name Arthur Baker and the Backbeat Disciples, it was followed up by Give In To The Rhythm in 1991. Both albums enjoyed only limited commercial success and after a brief spell working on film scores Baker took a break from the music industry relocating to London in 1992 to start a completely different career and opened a successful series of bars called The Elbow Rooms. Although no longer actively involved in producing he continues to work sporadically on projects mainly for the advertising industry and still makes appearances as a DJ.
