Tani Kahn, known professionally as Legwurk, is a Canadian singer, guitarist, bassist, key player, producer, and songwriter living in Brooklyn, NY.[1][2][3] She has been playing guitar, bass, and keys in Still Woozy's band on their recent tours.[1] Her music has been categorized as indie pop, synth-pop, dance-pop, bedroom pop, and chillwave.[1][2] Legwurk began releasing solo music in 2020, but she has been writing songs since she was 12.[1][4] She is an openly queer woman.[4][3]

Career

Kahn began playing music and writing music when she was young, teaching herself guitar.[3] She also studied music at University of California, Santa Cruz where she met Still Woozy.[3] Prior to her involvement in the indie pop scene, Legwurk had made some folk music.[5] The project of Legwurk began when she wanted to make music that was more palatable and relatable for a general audience.[5][3]

For a few years before the COVID-19 pandemic, Kahn was touring with Still Woozy as an opener as well as playing guitar, bass, and keys for the band.[4][3] Legwurk started to release her own singles in 2020 after the COVID-19 pandemic hit, and Still Woozy was no longer touring.[1][5] Her first single "Home" came out May 7, 2020.[6] She self-released her debut EP I Have a Bad Memory in June 2022.[1] Legwurk produced and wrote each song on the EP.[4] She has stated that creating the EP was like therapy for her, and she produces music from her own home.[1][5] Legwurk toured with Still Woozy throughout 2022 which included playing Coachella.[4] She also played some solo shows in 2022 across the U.S.[7]

Personal life

Legwurk lived in many different places around the world while she was growing up and now lives in Brooklyn, NY.[3] She is a transgender woman advocates on transgender issues both in and outside of her music.[5][3] Most of her songs are about the transgender experience, and she believes it is important to use music to uplift transgender voices.[5] She has a dog named Wilbur who is very important to her.[3]
