Some of the cities included NYC, Los Angeles, and even Florence, Italy, where he marriedKim Kardashian. Check out the places all over the world that fueled 'Ye's creativity to record Pablo below.
WINDMARK STUDIOS SANTA MONICA, CA:
This studio was founded by musician and former Flock of Seagulls drummer Michael Marquart and is now run by his daughter, Samantha. Coldplay, Jeezy, J. Cole, and YG have all recorded here.
NO NAME STUDIOS, PUNTA MITA, MEXICO:
Remember this picture that Kim posted to Instagram back in August of 2014 of Kanye and North West in the studio together? The family was in Punta Mita, Mexico at the time when Kim captioned the picture "#BringYourDaughterToWorkDay" because 'Ye was working on new music. Kanye and Kim also went zip-lining nearby this location back in 2014.
HOME STUDIOS, CALABASAS:
KimYe sold their Bel Air mansion before living in it because they found this $20 million Hidden Hills estate. So, maybe this means a studio built in their temporary home at Kris Jenner's Calabasas house where the momager famously lives?
GERMANO STUDIOS, NYC:
John Lennon, the Rolling Stones, Stevie Wonder, Paul Simon, U2, Madonna, Bruce Springsteen, and Michael Jackson have all recorded at this family-owned recording business that has existed in NYC for decades. Rihanna even recorded her eighth studio album, ANTI, at this studio.
