Spotlight: Kaelin Ellis

Raised on a diet of homegrown Gospel, Madlib, J Dilla, Flying Lotus and various other influences, Lakeland, FL based multi-instrumentalist and producer Kaelin Ellis deftly straddles the labels of funk, hip hop, electronic music and space age jazz for a unique sound.

Already a Multi-Platinum musician with over ten years of experience, the genre-defying creator has already worked on music with Lupe Fiasco, Joyce Wrice, Virgil Abloh, Logic, Jazmine Sullivan and K-Pop superstars EXO to name a few. Having already received a nomination for a NAACP Image Award and garnering support from USA Today, Okayplayer, NPR Music, Rolling Stone, Pitchfork, Complex Magazine and others, the future is looking bright for Mr. Ellis.

“IT’S LIKE FOUR KEYBOARDS IN ONE SHAPE.”

“People talk about music represents life, but then also life inspires the music. So, the feedback loop is a pattern. Music is patterns. And then what music is about is talking about people who go through their patterns.”
