DJ Nesty is a reggaetón producer closely associated with superstar duo Wisin Yandel. Born Ernesto Padilla in Barranquitas, Puerto Rico, he began his recording career as an associate of reggaetón hitmakers Luny Tunes during the early to mid-2000s. Also known simply as Nesty, he made a name for himself apart from Luny Tunes with a pair of hit singles in 2005: Chulin Culin Chunfly (by Voltio and Residente, the latter of Calle 13) and Eso Ehh...!! (Alexis Fido). The following year, Nesty produced tracks for high-profile albums by Don Omar (King of Kings, 2006) and Tego Calderón (The Underdog/El Subestimado, 2006), including the hit single Los Maté by the latter. Around this same time, Nesty began a close association with Wisin Yandel, producing much of their album Los Vaqueros (2006), including the hit singles Pegao, Yo Te Quiero, and Nadie Como Tú. In subsequent years he remained closely associated with Wisin Yandel, producing the bulk of their album Los Extraterrestres (2007), including the chart-topping hit single Sexy Movimiento, and La Mente Maestra (2008); he was co-billed on the front cover of the latter album. ~ Jason Birchmeier, Rovi
