Kenji Suzuki---nicknamed Damo --is a rock music singer probably best known for his membership in Can.
Suzuki was born in Japan in 1950, and spent the late 1960's wandering around Europe, often busking.
When Malcolm Mooney left Can after recording their first album, Monster Movie, they encountered Suzuki singing on a street in Cologne, Germany. They invited him to join the group, and he did, performing with them that evening.
Suzuki was with Can from 1970 to 1973, recording a number of well-regarded albums. His freeform, often improvised lyrics fit well with Can's rolling, psychedelic sound.
Suzuki converted to the Jehovah's Witness faith, and retired from music in about 1973.
He returned to music in 1983, and currently leads the Damo Suzuki Network.
Trivia
- The Fall's 1985 album This Nation's Saving Grace features "I Am Damo Suzuki," inspired by and dedicated to the singer.
