How One Man Lost Everything — and Still Found a New Purpose

In a powerful and vulnerable Instagram story, Gabe Fraboni, founder of PHNTM Labs, opened up about a devastating chapter in his life. In 2024, his 10-year career collapsed, taking a toll emotionally, financially, and professionally. While he didn’t name names, many in the industry speculate the situation involves a high-profile unpaid collaboration with Kanye West — a massive production effort that allegedly resulted in no compensation despite the enormous resources poured into it.

How One Man Lost Everything — and Still Found a New Purpose

Fraboni, known for being the creative force behind Martin Garrix’s iconic live shows including the legendary RAI performances, had helped build PHNTM Labs into a leading show production company. Losing everything wasn’t just about money; it was a shattering of years of trust and artistic vision. Yet, out of this rubble, Gabe is launching a new project — @stayserene, alongside collaborators @noblegent and @bekimtrenova — a symbol of healing and rebirth.

The incident is a painful reminder of how even in tight-knit industries, high-profile names can still leave destruction in their wake. It’s also a testament to resilience — sometimes, it takes losing everything to realize what truly matters.
