Krane first began releasing demos, remixes and edits on SoundCloud in 2014, under the moniker KRNE. His work caught the attention of music producer TOKiMONSTA, which, in 2015, resulted in their collaborative single release of “Put It Down” featuring Anderson .Paak. [2] In early 2016 the “Debris” album was introduced; a collection of B-Sides from recording sessions with Kehlani, J. Cole, Bryson Tiller and others. This stabled his first packaged release through Fool's Gold Records.

In 2017, Krane debuted singles "Right Here" [3] and "Akira" with producers Keys N Krates and Ekali, along with his highly anticipated full-length album, FALLOUT, [4] [5] eliciting praise from Huffington Post, Billboard, NYLON, and Pop Crush on his versatile and enticing sound. In the following year, FALLOUT received a full remix album, along with a branded tour and sold out headline shows across the US, [6] culminating in festival performances at Ultra and Coachella. Following the tour, Krane was named Billboard ’s “One’s To Watch” in their April editorial. [7]
