Lakeland, FL-based multi-instrumentalist and producer Kaelin Ellis continues to redefine genre boundaries with his latest 13-track project ‘OFF BEAT’—a self-produced, mixed, and mastered journey through funk, hip-hop, electronic, and space-age jazz. Raised on a rich musical diet of gospel, Madlib, J Dilla, and Flying Lotus, Ellis channels these influences into a futuristic soundscape that is as intricate as it is immersive.
Already a multi-platinum, NAACP-nominated artist, Ellis has an impressive résumé, having collaborated with industry heavyweights like Vince Staples, Lupe Fiasco, Jazmine Sullivan, Danny Brown, and Logic. His latest release, however, is a deeply personal statement, showcasing his raw creativity without outside interference. Each track pulses with vibrant rhythms, warm synth textures, and dynamic drum programming, making it a must-listen for fans of boundary-pushing production.
With praise from Rolling Stone, NPR, Pitchfork, and Complex, Ellis’s influence continues to grow. This latest project only solidifies his status as one of the most innovative producers in the game today.
