His production on Thundercat's 2020 album It Is What It Is earned him a Grammy Award for Best Progressive R&B Album, and another nod for Producer of the Year, Non-Classical that year. Prior to this he picked up 2016 Grammy noms for Best Dance Recording ('Never Catch Me'), and Album of the Year (To Pimp a Butterfly - producer).As the founder of Brainfeeder in 2008, Flying Lotus has cultivated one of the most forward-thinking rosters in music, home to game-changers like Kamasi Washington, Hiatus Kaiyote, and Thundercat. The label has become a global hub for experimental music, jazz futurism, and cross-genre innovation.
