Patrick (Bischoff) Brown (born August 26, 1978, in Phoenix, Arizona) is an American engineer, producer and studio owner.
Brown spent his early life in Arizona and later moved to Long Island, New York, where he studied web design.
2006 marked a turning point for the studio because Brown helped bring in various bands through iTunes' Live Sessions.
As owner, he morphed the business model by bringing in more interns, because Brown believes it takes a community of passionately involved people to really create something worthwhile.
