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.

Im 28 year old rapper from nottingham, i have been into making music since i was around the age of 12. I have always tried to get my music accross in a way that people can relate to. Talking about issues that i see with my eyes and people listen to with there ears and feel with there heart. I used music as a way of expressing myself, however i am feeling at that time. I started with the art of freestyling and beatboxing,  the more i did it, the more people would want to listen. I then took it to the next step when my missus allowed me to convert a coal outhouse into a home studio instead of a dog house lol. I studied pro tools and reason every night by internet searching and youtube tutorials to learn just the basics for me to exel to the next level. I realise i am no good at making beats but i can write and rap to many. I started using other peoples beats with there consent and my music is being more and more appriciated each week. I will leave this bio in saying that if i can get 1 person to tap there foot or nod there head to my music then i am succeeding as a rap artist.
