Steven Ellison (born October 7, 1983), known by his stage name Flying Lotus or sometimes FlyLo, is an experimental multi-genre music producer, electronic musician, DJ, filmmaker, and rapper from Los Angeles, California. Flying Lotus has released five studio albums--1983 (2006), Los Angeles (2008), Cosmogramma (2010), Until the Quiet Comes (2012) and You're Dead! (2014)--to critical acclaim.

His third studio album, Cosmogramma, was released in the UK on May 3, 2010, and in the US on May 4, 2010. In January 2011, Cosmogramma won in the Dance/Electronica Album category in the 10th Annual Independent Music Awards. The multi-award-winning Cosmogramma was a hard-hitting afrofuturistic shrine to soul, hip-hop, jazz and IDM but, with more emphasis on a lyrical message than ever before, it was also a cathartic grieving experience. The album was accompanied by live instrumentation (Thundercat on bass, Miguel Atwood Ferguson on strings, Rebekah Raff on harp) and live vocalists (Thom Yorke, Laura Darlington) - all picked to help communicate the spiritual musical lineage of Ellison's family (Ravi Coltrane, himself, played tenor sax). Stephen Bruner, aka Thundercat, who is featured extensively on Cosmogramma, would later become a large part of future albums by Flying Lotus.  In 2010, Flying Lotus collaborated with the Ann Arbor Film Festival in the performance of a live scoring of the 1962 avant-garde film Heaven and Earth Magic. In a post-viewing interview with the audience, Flying Lotus said that he was unsure whether or not a recording of the performance (or a recreation of it) would be publicly released, but he would be enthusiastic toward similar projects in the future. He was chosen by Battles to perform at the ATP Nightmare Before Christmas festival that it co-curated in December 2011 in Minehead, England, UK.  In September 2010, Flying Lotus released "Pattern+Grid World", an 8 track EP featuring Thundercat on bass & art by Theo Ellsworth. The Track Camera Day was used in the Killer Mike song Swimming, which was released as part of the Adult Swim Singles Series.  In January 2011, Flying Lotus won the 10th Annual Independent Music Awards for his video "MmmHmm" in the Short-Form Video category.  It was reported in 2011 that Flying Lotus would be collaborating with R&B singer Erykah Badu on new material for her next album, and planned to remix one of Radiohead's songs from The King of Limbs.

Steven Ellison (född 7 oktober 1983), känd under sitt scennamn Flying Lotus eller ibland FlyLo, är en experimentell multigenre musikproducent, elektronisk musiker, DJ, filmskapare och rappare från Los Angeles, Kalifornien. Flying Lotus har släppt fem studioalbum --1983 (2006), Los Angeles (2008), Cosmogramma (2010), Until the Quiet Comes (2012) och You're Dead! (2014)--att kritiskt hylla. Hans tredje studioalbum, Cosmogramma, släpptes i Storbritannien den 3 maj 2010, och i USA den 4 maj 2010. I januari 2011 vann Cosmogramma i kategorin Dance/Electronica Album i 10:e Annual Independent Music Awards. Den mångfaldigt prisbelönta Cosmogramma var en svårslagen afrofuturistisk helgedom till själ, hip-hop, jazz och IDM men, med mer betoning på ett lyriskt budskap än någonsin tidigare, var det också en kathartisk sorgeupplevelse. Albumet ackompanjerades av liveinstrumentering (Thundercat på bas, Miguel Atwood Ferguson på stråkar, Rebecka Raff på harpa) och livevokalister (Thom Yorke, Laura Darlington) - alla utvalda för att hjälpa till att kommunicera den andliga musikaliska ätten av Ellisons familj (Ravi Coltrane, själv, spelade tenor sax). Stephen Bruner, alias Thundercat, som finns flitigt med på Cosmogramma, skulle senare bli en stor del av framtida album av Flying Lotus. 2010 samarbetade Flying Lotus med Ann Arbor Film Festival i framförandet av en livepoäng av 1962 års avantgardefilm Himmel och jordmagi. I en intervju efter visning med publiken sade Flying Lotus att han var osäker på om en inspelning av föreställningen (eller en rekreation av den) skulle släppas offentligt, men han skulle vara entusiastisk inför liknande projekt i framtiden. Han valdes av Battles att uppträda på ATP Nightmare Before Christmas festival som den samkurerade i december 2011 i Minehead, England, Storbritannien. I september 2010 släppte Flying Lotus "Pattern+Grid World", en 8 spårs EP med Thundercat på bas & konst av Theo Ellsworth. Track Camera Day användes i Killer Mike-låten Swimming, som släpptes som en del av Adult Swim Singles Series. I januari 2011 vann Flying Lotus den 10:e årliga Independent Music Awards för sin video "MmmHmm" i kategorin Short-Form Video. Det rapporterades 2011 att Flying Lotus skulle samarbeta med R&B-sångaren Erykah Badu på nytt material till hennes nästa album, och planerade att remixa en av Radioheads låtar från The King of Limbs.
