Flying Lotus is an experimental multi-genre music producer and laptop musician from Los Angeles, California. He is the great-nephew of the late jazz pianist Alice Coltrane, wife of saxophonist John Coltrane. He is also the cousin of musician Ravi Coltrane.
His first solo album, 1983, was issued through the Plug Research label in 2006. In 2007, he announced that he signed with Warp Records. Following his Warp debut, the six-track Reset EP, he quickly became one of the label’s cornerstone artists and released his second album, titled Los Angeles, in 2008. The same year, Flying Lotus also remixed “Reckoner” from Radiohead's album In Rainbows.
His third album, Cosmogramma, was released in 2010. The album reached #17 on the Billboard Independent Albums chart. In January 2011, Cosmogramma won in the Dance/Electronica Album category in the 10th Annual Independent Music Awards.
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. He was chosen by Battles to perform at the ATP Nightmare Before Christmas festival that it co-curated in December 2011 in Minehead, England. In January 2011, Flying Lotus won the 10th Annual Independent Music Awards for his video “MmmHmm” in the Short-Form Video category.
Until the Quiet Comes, his fourth album, was issued by Warp in 2012. After releasing his 2010 album Cosmogramma, Flying Lotus continued his creative partnership with Brainfeeder bassist Thundercat and worked with him on music that led to the Until the Quiet Comes album. Guests on the album included Niki Randa, Erykah Badu and Thom Yorke. The album debuted at #34 on the Billboard 200 Albums chart and reached #2 on the Billboard Top Dance/Electronic Albums chart.
