American singer, songwriter, musician, poet and artist from NY, member of Mumps, The Swinging Madisons and Bleaker Street Incident bands that were active in late '70s and through the '80s.
Kristian released his debut album 'I Don't Love My Guru Anymore' in 1993.
The '90s and '00s have brought many collaboration opportunities to Hoffman. He's made his mark on rock and roll history as a member of chamber pop singer Rufus Wainwright's touring band, has played keyboards and written songs for the atmospheric torch band 'Congo Norvell', has produced, toured with, and written songs for punk/cabaret singer Abby Travis, and has toured with Kinks founder and lead guitarist Dave Davies. Meanwhile Kristian found time to record and release his second solo album, 1996's 'Earthquake Weather', the electric follow-up to the softer-sounding Guru, and to add his sometimes humorous illustrations to books by long-time musical accomplice Lydia Lunch and by Los Angeles poet Iris Berry.
