Lets GEt that Grammy SAE Miami Alumni, Instructor, and Engineer, Franklin El Medico Rodriguez is nominated for a Grammy (More) SAE Miami Alumni, Instructor, and Engineer, Franklin El Medico Rodriguez is nominated for a Grammy for the 2009 Grammy Awards for his work as a mixing engineer on the album La Verdad by artists Locos Por Juana. The nomination comes under the category of Best Latin Rock or Alternative Album. This marks the third time Franklin has been involved in a Grammy nominated project. He worked on Daddy Yankees Grammy nominated album, El Cartel;The Big Boss and Calle 13s Grammy award winning album, Calle 13:Residente o Visitante.
After graduating from the Miami campus of SAE in October of 2002, Franklin began his work as a Student Supervisor. During that time he became active in the local scene doing internships and any assisting jobs he could get his hands on in order to gain experience. It was his dedication that also led to his promotion to SAE Instructor.
A few years later, after working with many local artists and on a couple of independent movie projects, Franklin got his chance to work on big league projects when engineer, Jose Hyde Cotto, decided to recruit him as his right hand man.
Ironically, Jose was my student at SAE and we became friends. A year after he graduated he called me up and asked me to help him out on a project and weve been working together ever since.
It was with Jose that Franklin had the opportunity to work with heavy weights in the Latin Urban scene such as, Daddy Yankee, Angel and Khriz, Hector El Father, Don Omar, and Arcangel. Franklin is grateful to Jose for opening his ear and broadening his musical horizon.
It was however, through Mexican Music Producer Toy Hernandez that Franklin got to reconnect with the group Locos Por Juana.
Itagui and I went to middle school and high school together, but we lost touch after graduation. One night, I was mixing a song produced by Toy for an artist named Notch and in the middle of the session, Itagui, the lead singer of Locos, came in to talk to Toy. We were shocked to find each other there.
It was a year from that moment that Franklin was in the studio working on their first song together. He mixed the song Calle Luna Calle Sol, which Locos Por Juana recorded for the compilation album, Tributo a Hector Lavoe.
After that, we agreed without really talking about it that I would be doing their full album. We started mixing La Verdad in March of this year and we finished the master sometime in May. It was a major label release but the budget was small. We had to do a lot of in the box mixing, unconventional recording methods, and a lot of late nights. It was a labor of love, as every album should be, though we obviously had our history. To be nominated for a Grammy is awesome, but to be nominated for a Grammy for this particular record, for me, is the greatest feeling ever. My hope is that the Miami Music Industry professionals get behind this record and vote for it, because at the end of the day, this band is a Miami band. To me they are like a microcosmic representation of Miami and the sound you can get from such a melting pot. (Less)
