Kahn's career and music experience
Before entering into music full time, Kahn once worked in telesales at Mweb before he managed to do a term at Jeppe Boys' High in Johannesburg as a teacher. This was after he graduated from the University of Johannesburg (it was known then as Rand Afrikaans University) with a BA in communication.
He has had some bad experiences to share apart from his success stories, one of which is when he and The Parlotones had a legal battle with a manager they had in the past. The problem was so big that the only option left for the band was to buy back their catalogue of music.
Sharing from his experience at a time, Kahn said, "My journey in music has always been approached from a business point of view. I've had some wobbles, and maybe I've done things back to front... We did a lot of things wrong, but we also did a lot of things right."
