Kaelin Ellis, the multi-talented artist from Lakeland, FL, draws inspiration from a rich tapestry of musical influences, including Gospel, Madlib, J Dilla, and Flying Lotus. This diverse background has shaped his unique sound, blending elements of funk, hip-hop, electronic music, and space-age jazz.
His latest release, “Its Been A Minute,” is the third single from his upcoming album ‘You Are Here, Start,’ set to drop on June 21st via Fool’s Gold Records. This instrumental track stands out as a relaxed, yet compelling piece, offering a contrast to the eclectic mix of R&B in “Celebration” with TOBi and the gritty energy of “Ain’t You Mad” featuring Buddy, Guapdad 4000, and Kenny Mason. Fans are invited to participate in a remix competition for “Its Been A Minute,” adding another layer of engagement to the release.
Ellis, a multi-platinum musician with over a decade of experience, boasts collaborations with notable artists like Lupe Fiasco, Joyce Wrice, Virgil Abloh, Logic, Jazmine Sullivan, and EXO. His work has earned praise from USA Today, Okayplayer, NPR Music, HYPEBEAST, Pitchfork, and Complex Magazine. In addition to his music, Ellis is a prolific sound pack creator and a popular Twitch streamer, working with brands such as Splice, AIAIAI, Ableton, MOOG, and Bandlabs. His live performances include an NPR Tiny Desk concert and appearances at major festivals.
