Flula

Flula Borg (born 28 March 1982), is a German DJ, record producer, singer, songwriter, and host, who uses the stage name DJ Flula or simply Flula. He currently lives and works in Los Angeles, California, in the arts district of Silver Lake as a musician, producer, host, and actor.

Germany (1993-2007)
Flula began his career performing as a Schuhplattler dancer in and around Erlangen, his hometown, located in northern Bavaria. He shifted his attention from dance to music in the late 1990s, touring southern Germany as a techno and hip hop DJ. His style of incorporating real sounds into his music garnered him a cult following, but he also achieved a few mainstream hits, including "Kuhchen," a response to the Mad Cow crisis affecting Europe at the time. In early 2007, Flula moved to Los Angeles.

America (2007-present)
Flula's notoriety in America is most likely due to his first appearance on Current TV, a docu-piece called "Take Me Home James," about a personalized cab service that happened to pick up Flula, who appeared to be inebriated. The piece was one of Current TV's 5 most popular in 2007, and led to an independent documentary series on Flula ("Flula Borg: German DJ"). After the series release, Flula began performing regularly at The Viper Room and The Derby. Borg also began his acting and on-air hosting careers, starring in indie films such as "Christmas Break" alongside Stacey Dash and The Sopranos' Matt del Negro while hosting shows for AT&T's U-Verse programming, various Current TV pods, and social networking site Stickam.

Popularity and honors
While working for AT&T at the Texas Redneck Games, Flula and his cousin Jürgen became the first non-Americans to participate and medal in the games. In 2007, Current TV selected "Take Me Home James" as it's 4th most popular pod during its Top 71 Countdown. In early 2008, Flula was selected a Top Ten Finalist for Stickam's Casting Call.
