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.

The lord is my Shepard I shall not want. Aredotcom was born and raised in Oakland CA. He was introduced to music as an infant with gospel music through  his family  who are devout Pentecostal Christians. They  have been members of cogic churches in the bay area. As a young boy growing up in poverty stricken East Oakland and San Leandro CA aredotcom used music as an escape from reality of being young, black and poor as fuck. Music has shaped aredotcoms life in so many aspects in his life. As long as music was playing or someone was singing it was always a great time in the house. Aredotcom is the middle child of an older brother and younger sister. Being that his family is very religious his first real hip hop experience was an EPMD  tape he found on the way home from school. He hid this from his parents because he knew they would destroy it. As he got older his parents started to realize that music was very important to him and that was his way to express himself, then they began to accept it as part of aredotcoms life. As aredotcom began to discover different genres of music he found himself writing  raps every chance he got. He also always wrote raps with his god brother JD aka knobody which influenced him in different ways. In high school aredotcom experienced his rebellious and wild stage; selling weed and crack and trying his best to cut every class and smoke weed as much as possible. But thankfully a lot has changed... Aredotcom is no where near perfect but he's a work in progress experimenting with different sounds and genres. One thing about aredotcom is that his music is 100% original. i am not like them at all.  follow me on twitter and add me on any other social network please subscribe to my youtube channel click links  above .
