Steven Ellison, also known by his stage name Flying Lotus, is a Grammy Award–winning, multi-genre music producer, electronic musician, DJ, filmmaker, and rapper from Los Angeles. His past six studio albums—1983 (2006), Los Angeles (2008), Cosmogramma (2010), Until the Quiet Comes (2012), You’re Dead! (2014), and Flamagra (2019)—were released to critical acclaim.

He recently executive produced and composed for Netflix’s anime series Yasuke, a show only made possible by an auteur who consistently shows immense care to the audible and visual aspects of his creations.
