US singer-songwriter Noah Kahan has spoken out about the challenges of rapid success, revealing that becoming a festival headliner after his third album triggered a crisis of confidence. The 25-year-old's music has gained a significant following worldwide, but he admits that the pressure to produce hit songs took a toll on his mental health.
Kahan's latest album, 'Stick Season', reached number one on the US Billboard 200 chart and earned him a spot at Glastonbury Festival among other high-profile gigs. However, the singer has revealed that this rapid rise to fame left him feeling overwhelmed and uncertain about his place in the music industry.
'I was 22, and suddenly I was playing the biggest festivals in the world,' Kahan explained in an interview. 'It was a lot to take in, and I didn't know how to process it.'
Despite these challenges, Kahan is now using his experiences to inspire others through music and social media. His latest single, 'Stick Season', is available to stream on platforms such as Spotify and Apple Music.
