Born in Mexico, Daniela Huerta is a Berlin-based multimedia artist, researcher, and sound therapist. Her work oscillates between live performances, audiovisual projects, and original music scores for film and dance. Under the moniker Baby Vulture, she has developed a distinctive, multi-layered, and eclectic approach to DJing. She holds a BA from Central Saint Martins in London and has completed Sound Therapy training at the Sound Healing Academy in Cornwall. Currently, she is furthering her studies at the Center for Deep Listening, founded by composer Pauline Oliveros.

Exploring the intersection of sound and consciousness, Huerta channels mythology and storytelling into a richly layered artistic practice that bridges the real and the imaginary, creating vivid landscapes that aim to connect with the depths of the human psyche. She composes hyperreal, immersive sound spheres that pull listeners into emotionally charged experiences.

Rooted in myth and transformation, her approach is equal parts raw and refined—a boundary-pushing exploration of sound as a narrative force. Her collaborative spirit shines in projects like KOAXULA, a sonic activation duo with Colombian artist Natalia Escobar, which reclaims mythological female archetypes and fading cosmovisions to forge reimagined ways of existence. With Concepción Huerta, she forms HUERTA ENSAMBLE, a collaborative research project dedicated to creating sound works using synthesis and magnetic tape recordings. Their live performances are based on improvisation and the unique dialogue that unfolds in each setting.

Other collaborations and interdisciplinary projects include Lucrecia Dalt, Soundwalk Collective, Ali Demirel, Iván Argote, Vincent Moon, Ash Fure, Ale Hop, Prima Materia with Cornelia Pierce, and WILDING AI: a collective experiment by Beth Coleman, Maurice Jones, Alexandre Saunier, Portrait XO, Sahar Homami, and Pia Baltazar.

Huerta has performed at events and venues such as MUTEK.MX, Heroines of Sound, Radical Sounds Latin America, CTM Festival, Kiezsalon, Berghain, Neue Nationalgalerie, Roter Salon, and Silent Green, among others. Her commissioned projects include works for Kunsthalle Baden-Baden, Centro de Cultura Digital (CCD), Musée d’Orsay, Centre Pompidou, MOCA Geffen Warehouse, Musée du Luxembourg, and ArteBa. She has also held residencies at Morphine Raum, MONOM Berlin, Sternhagen Gut, the Goethe-Institut, Aki Aora, and Amplify Berlin.

She has released music on labels such as Other People, Concentric Records, Tsuku Boshi, Ensamble Records, Karlrecords, Kashual Plastik, WET, and Petites Planètes. Her debut LP, SOPLO, was released on Elevator Bath in October 2024.
