"The St. Louis native has been involved in music since 1996 — but you've probably never heard of him under his present stage name. Until recently, Kahsan went by the moniker "Tylan." Kahsan used this name to pay homage to his mother's Thai heritage — he even spent some of his younger life with family in Sukhothai, Thailand, where he learned to speak Thai fluently.
