American singer-songwriter Noah Kahan began uploading his songs to SoundCloud when he was 15 years old. The songs eventually caught the attention of record producers.
Kahan started writing songs at about age 8 and received a guitar when he was 10, learning to play from his father. During his senior year of high school, Kahan received both an acceptance letter from Tulane University and an offer for a record deal in the same week. He deferred college and signed with Republic Records.
