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 Portland, Oregon.[3]
