Although he's known for his forward-thinking work as an electronic producer, Flying Lotus (aka Stephen Ellison) has roots in the jazz world, with his great uncle and aunt being icons John and Alice Coltrane. This family link has no doubt had an influence on FlyLo's style, a combination of various genres that's impossible to pin down. Whether he's collaborating with Radiohead and Erykah Badu or providing beats for the rap collective Odd Future, Flying Lotus is an artist in complete control of his sound, making him one of this generation's most innovative producers.
