Stephen Hybicki

Stephen Hybicki is an American music producer and recording engineer from Milwaukee, Wisconsin by way of Atlanta, Georgia.

Hybicki started his career as a producer in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, making beats and recording local artists until 2010, when he moved to Atlanta Georgia after garnering some radio play for a song he produced in 2009 for local group Y.T.C. and singer Cincere. After two months of working on set as an extra for Tyler Perry's "Meet the Browns", he accepted an internship at Hotbeats Recording Studios in Midtown Atlanta (mostly famous for being Lil Wayne's primary workplace during the recording of the Grammy winning Carter III album). Having not gone to school for engineering, he learned the ropes by watching the staff and networking with up an coming artists and producers. One of these up and coming producers happened to be the then relatively unknown super producer Mike WiLL Made It. Proving his dedication, work ethic, and undeniable ear for music, the owners and management allowed Hybicki to slowly work his way into rotation during regular recording sessions, his first session being with legendary rapper Raekwon of Wu-Tang Clan fame. Within six months he was doing a large percentage of the recording sessions while still performing intern duties, leading him to become the studios first intern to be awarded a gold record by the RIAA for his engineering work on T.I.'s album "No Mercy". After a year at Hotbeats, Stephen (Steve) was hired by an independent record label to be the lead engineer and A&R. The label fizzled, but during that time Hybicki started working heavily with producer Mike WiLL Made It. Mike WiLL eventually went on to produce a string of Multi-Platinum hits and appointed Hybicki as his lead recording engineer. On their first project, Miley Cyrus' Platinum selling "Bangerz" album, Stephen recorded 8 of the 16 final songs.[1] Since then Hybicki has been credited on albums for Future, Candice Glover, and Mariah Carey while along the way working with artists ranging from Britney Spears to Lil Wayne.
