OFFICIAL BIO
Regarded upon his 2006 arrival as a promising beatmaker looming in the shadows of J Dilla, Madlib, waterfalls and Dabrye, Steven Ellison -- known as Flying Lotus -- nullified all comparisons only two years later with Los Angeles. On that album, his first of five for the Warp label, Ellison distilled a uniquely crisp, spasmodic, and heady sound with elements of hip-hop, avant-garde jazz, IDM, and dubstep. While the abovementioned producers fueled Ellison, he had also been excited as a youngster by the '90s West Coast rap classics that combined programming and live instrumentation. His sound continued to develop as he put his own twist on the approach, recording with a crop of jazz musicians including the indispensable likes of bassist Thundercat and strings master Miguel Atwood-Ferguson. This process began with the turbulent 2010 set Cosmogramma and peaked in terms of acclaim in 2014 with You're Dead!, which crashed the Top 20 of the Billboard 200 and spawned the Kendrick Lamar collaboration "Never Catch Me," a Grammy nominee for Best Dance Recording. Ellison devoted a few years to various forms of film work and the operation of his revered Brainfeeder label, and returned in 2019 with Flamagra, his second consecutive album to top Billboard's Dance/Electronic chart.

Secret alternate account that is NOT owned by Half an Orange ;) Sometimes we have hidden emotions deep down inside of us. We want our music on Half an Orange to tell stories abut us and to let people know we're struggling just like them. Our music on Half an Orange should give off a tiny sense of hope as we travel the world to struggle, grow, and find ourselves.  We release music on Dyver when we're upset or mad and just want to make loud sounds. It is our version of going into the studio and screaming until we feel better. It is a chance for us to "let it all out", start over, and cleanse ourselves when we are at all time lows and angry.

You can actually see our Dyver personality in the Half an Orange music video for I Need U To Stay.
