Flying Lotus - Los Angeles
As he matured into Los Angeles itself, so did he weave himself into the city's long-forming musical tapestry that includes breezy surf pop, the rambling desert psychedelia of the 1960s, the flashy city-dwelling soul music of the 1970s and the kinetic hip-hop energy flow of the 1980s and 90s, not to mention Phil Spector's many epic productions. This is a musical history that extended into Flying Lotus' own family as well, his grandmother Marilyn Mcleod was a songwriter for Motown and penned and produced classics like "Love Hangover" by Diana Ross as well as songs for The Four Tops and other Motown greats whilst his aunt is none other than the legendary Alice Coltrane. Perhaps this musically privileged background attributes to the unique way he views music, as seen in his distinctive productions.

It gives me an opportunity to truly express myself, unlike what happens in an everyday living situation where there are restrictions on you and limitations on you and demands on you and bills to pay, through music I can truly be comfortable with who I am, and do what I really want to do and say what I really want to say.
