Flamingosis, the stage name of Aaron Velasquez, is an electronic music producer and beatboxer known for crafting a vibrant blend of instrumental hip-hop, funk, and electronic music influenced heavily by the ‘beat scene’ and sample-based production reminiscent of J Dilla and Flying Lotus. His moniker is an ode to his father, a five-time freestyle Frisbee world champion, and the term "flamingosis" which refers to a freestyle disc move invented by his father. The New Jersey-based artist brings a nostalgic warmth to his music, interspersing soulful grooves and funky beats with a contemporary edge.

Rising from a niche sound to amass a loyal following, Flamingosis has built his discography imbued with a sense of joy and color, often incorporating a laid-back, summery vibe. With releases like "Bliss Station" and "Daymaker," he has honed a signature sound that stands at the crossroads of chillwave, future funk, and hip-hop. Standout tracks such as "Bright Moments" and "Sweet Chocolate" illustrate his adept sampling technique, pairing rich textures with head-nodding rhythms. Over the years, Flamingosis's sonic journey has resonated with audiences worldwide, securing his place in the pantheon of contemporary electronic artists pushing the boundaries of genre and style.
