How a Grammy-winning Bad Bunny song came together in the East Village | amNewYork

"Fab Dupont was in the nominee area of the Grammy Awards in Los Angeles when he heard Bad Bunny's Debi Tirar Mas Fotos won album of the year. Within minutes, Dupont's phone blew up with hundreds of congratulations texts. Someone whose work already contributed to a handful of Grammys, he mixed the song WELTiTA on the winning album at his Flux Studios in the East Village. You work on something, it's recognized as being the best that year, he said at Flux on 2nd Street. It's wonderful."

"A musician who plays numerous instruments, sound mixing engineer, music producer, songwriter and owner and operator of Flux Studios, Dupont has worked with (and for) many of the world's biggest, best-known musicians. He and his team have done work for Bad Bunny, David Crosby, Isaac Hayes, Snarky Puppy, Shakira, Jennifer Lopez, Toots And The Maytals, Bon Jovi, Marc Anthony, Ladysmith Black Mambazo, Queen Latifah and Residente as part of a long list."

"Lorde recorded a lot of her last album in the Fabulous room (designed by Luca Medus) where Dupont mixed the Bad Bunny song along with many other performers. The Jonas Brothers recently blocked out an entire floor for 10 days in the eight-room,10,00-square-foot studio for a writing camp and music marathon. They recorded 37 songs, Dupont said, noting his team worked with them. They'll refine the songs, weed out the ones not as good as they want, take the best ones and release them over time."
