This week’s guest is Noa Kahn…a Grammy-nominated drummer who, while only moving to the US from Israel in 2019, has already taken the industry by storm and getting hired by some of the best names in the game…including Jax and Big Wild. I had the pleasure of sharing a bill with her last month and wow - she’s incredibly humble, but SUCH a monster player. Her name will be heard a lot for some time to come. I was so excited to chat and I hope you enjoy this conversation with one of my new favorite drummers, Noa Kahn, on the 5 records that shaped her into the musician she is today. Cheers!
