Nobody is one Elvin Esela who was been releasing records since 2000's LA underground opus Soulmates (Ubiquity) which featured his moody production along with LA MC's Medusa, 2Mex, Freestyle Fellowship, Abstract Rude and Aceyalone.  Time spent immersed at Los Angeles college radio station KXLU, Nobody took his love for 90's indie rock and 60's psychedelia into a creative shift for his 2003 release Pacifc Drift (Ubiquity).  This time the beats hinted at a more electronic edge and featured vocalists rather than MC's, including Chris Gunst (Beachwood Sparks), Languis, Paul Larson and Jimmy Tamborello (Dntel/Postal Service).  Nobody and Gunst's cover of The Monkees' "Porpoise Song" sowed the seeds for their full length collaboration Nobody & The Mystic Chords of Memory Tree Colored See (Mush) in 2005.  2006's And Everything Else (Alpha Pup) saw a combination of both aesthetics into a more beat heavy approach that featured guest singers as well as MC's including Mia Doi Todd, Xololanxinco (OMD) and Prefuse 73.  Delving right into a full length collaboration with singer Niki Randa, Nobody created his most cohesive work to date in Blank Blue: Western Water Music Vol. 2.  2010 sees Nobody taking all the reigns himself with his latest release One For All Without Hesitation (Alpha Pup), which finds Nobody in singer songwriter mode, gracing his own productions with his own autotune laced vocals.  Nobody has also been part of the Low End Theory club that brings the freshest beats to the LA scene every week.  His DJ sets are known to transport listeners to Los Angeles, ranging from unreleased bangers from LA locals to rare 60's psychedelia from Nobody's vault.
