Suzanne Kraft

If there's an aligning theme to the varied catalog of Suzanne Kraft, it's that instrumental passages can be as lyrical as traditional songs. Perhaps it's down to the unfussed energy of his hometown, Los Angeles, that Kraft—real name Diego Herrera—has easily navigated through a prolific decade of solo records and collaborations encompassing dance tracks, various mutations of mannered pop and a myriad of downtempo & electroacoustic experiments.Trained in saxophone, guitar, bass and keys, during his teenage years Herrera began bus pilgrimages to Los Angeles open-format radio institution Dublab, where he fell in with a coterie of music-obsessed freaks. He'd eventually become the station's creative director while developing wide-ranging DJ instincts over thousands of hours logged on-air.The Suzanne Kraft live band will debut in spring 2022. In just over a decade, Herrera has put forth a warm, prolific body of work, shifting between styles as easily as freeway lanes.
