In 2009, Stephen Patrick Boye attended Mediatech Institute in Austin, TX, at Willie Nelson's legendary Arlyn Studios where he received a Pro Tools Music certification.

In 2010, he began a lifelong friendship with local Austin musician Matt Wilson. That year, Matt hired Stephen as stage manager and project engineer for Matt Wilson Entertainment, and Stephen began his real-world education on the road with the Matt Wilson Band.

He has engineered and assisted in editing all of MWBs Youtube content for the past 10 years.

Stephen Patrick Boye is one of our house engineers and onsite computer technician. He recently oversaw the upgrade from our Pro Tools Legacy HD platform to the more recent HDX platform. He has also integrated Universal Audios UAD platform into the Rabadash Studios signal flow.

Drawing on his experience as a songwriter, Stephen understands the importance of creating a comfortable and safe space for artists to realize their vision. His goal is to accentuate the artist's ideas without overproducing.

Michael Cooper our assistant engineer is most notably recognized for his work with independent artists such as Luke Whitney, frontman for multi disciplinary artist Tobe Nwigwe from Houston, Texas. Michael branched out from early home production to study at an University level in his second home of Southeast Texas. Lamar State College Port Arthur, his sound engineering Alma Mater featured Michael in their ad campaign which airs to this day in Beaumont, Port Arthur, and Orange Texas. The exposure lead to his success in broadcast engineering in Greater Louisiana running sound for Louisiana’s Game of the week, produced by Louisiana Sports Network and Fox Sports, sponsored by the Saints. After a successful season Michael furthered his studio path to work on an SSL 4000 console at the former home of Tech N9ne through the former Chapman Recording Studio, now Simpson Sound Lab in Kansas City. The intern position lead him to work with local acts promoting his solo work as a video model and podcast host all self produced from an unassuming location, the project studio of his studio apartment. During the latter half of his time completing an education studies degree through Avila University Michael concluded that he would marry the two studies to assist in educating science technology, engineering, arts, and math.
