Biography
Mono/Poly is the pseudonym used by American producer and multi-instrumentalist Charles E. Dickerson, whose varied catalog spans from experimental electronic music all the way to glitch-based hip-hop, g-funk, and beyond. Born on February 5, 1987, in Bakersfield, California, he began his music journey by mixing at parties in 1997, but it wasn't until 2006 that he got his start as a producer, co-founding the artist collective Eresys Productions. The George Machine, his debut EP, arrived in 2009 via Faces Records. It wasn't long before the release garnered critical acclaim within the scene, earning him the endorsement of Ed Banger's Pedro Winter and Gaslamp Killer. In 2010, Mono/Poly dropped his debut album Paramatma, another celebrated project that melded together his love for left-field electronica, philosophy, and spiritualism. Following a move to Flying Lotus' Brainfeeder Records, he returned in 2011 with the extended play Manifestations. The next couple of years would find the Bakersfield native as prolific as ever, releasing the EPs Killer B's (2012), Cryptic (2016), and Union (2017), as well as his more accessible second LP Golden Skies (2014), which featured guest appearances from Free Moral Agents' Mendee Ichikawa, Rebekah Raff, and Thundercat. The latter also featured in his 2019 third full-length album Monotomic and would later earn him a Grammy in the category of Best Progressive R&B Album for his production work on 2020's It Is What It Is. That year, Mono/Poly delivered not one but two studio LPs, Messages from the Cosmic Sea and AS LONG AS THAT LOVE IS DIVINE.
