J’Kerian Morgan (born March 22, 1989), known professionally as Lotic, is an American electronic musician based in Berlin.

Morgan first became interested in DJing in 2009 after seeing a Kingdom set while still a student at UT Austin. Her involvement with the KVRX student radio station marked the beginning of her own electronic music career as she frequently performed live DJ sets at station showcases and events around Austin. She released music during this time under Ben Aqua’s #FEELINGS label. After graduating college in 2012, Morgan moved to Berlin with her boyfriend to pursue a career in music while working for Ableton. Later that year, she became affiliated with the Janus Collective, a group described in the New York Times as part of an enclave of American expatriates “ taking over sleepy venues, creating their own parties and leaving a significant imprint on the city’s musical program.” Morgan became affiliated with Janus after meeting founders Dan D’Norch and Michael Ladner. The next year, she released the mixtape Fallout, which she followed with the Damsel in Distress mixtape in 2014. Morgan released two EPs in 2015: Heterocetera and Agitations. In 2016, she was commissioned by Björk to produce two official remixes of “Notget” from Vulnicura;she also served as an opening act on the Berlin date of the Vulnicura Tour. That fall, she scored a promotional video for fashion brand ifeoma’s spring/summer 2017 collection. She also soundtracked the autumn/winter 2017 Julius Society show at Paris Fashion Week. Her full-length debut, Power, was released in 2018. Accompanying this release was Endless Power, an audio-visual production created in collaboration with lighting designer Emmanuel Biard. Endless Power was performed at Berlin’s CTM Festival and Sónar in Barcelona. That year, she also performed in and scored “Embryogenesis” and “Fleshless Beast,” dance pieces choreographed by Roderick George. Along with Floating Points and Raven, Morgan scored the 2019 KDV Dance Ensemble performance piece “Las Casas Invisibles” choreographed by Kianí del Valle. She also contributed to a remix compilation of tracks from Polish cellist Resina’s 2018 album Traces. In May 2020, Morgan announced a deal with Houndstooth Records after Tri Angle records shut down the previous month. Her release of the single “Burn a Print” coincided with the signing announcement. The following single, “Cocky,” was released that August.
