Kahina Khimoune

Coming from a family of artists, Kahina had the chance, from an early age, to be immersed in this privileged environment. At the age of 8, she began playing the piano at the National Regional Conservatory of her city and, throughout her schooling, joined classes offering students the opportunity to follow school programs as well as reinforced artistic education, the expected extension of which is the Professional orientation.

With a General Literary Baccalaureate in hand, she studied Modern Literature at the Sorbonne Nouvelle in Paris, but she quickly understood that she felt more at ease and above all more useful, behind the scenes than on the front of the stage. Already perceiving, within her family, the problems with which artists in the cultural sector are confronted in administrative and relational management; these difficulties that hinder them in the accomplishment of their artistic and creative work, Kahina came up with the idea of ​​offering services to artists. She then joined a renowned school of communication and press officer in Paris, after which she worked for 5 years at Radio FG as a relationship manager with international resident artists.

After a two-year stay in London, in 2009 she joined David Guetta’s team, where she is the administrator of many companies. At the same time, she takes care of organizing all his professional and artistic meetings, organizes writing workshops, accompanies him in the studio, thus assisting in the genesis of many worldwide successes. Kahina acquired international expertise in the development of artistic careers, in the management of production and publishing companies specializing in music.

During her 12 years spent alongside David Guetta and through her many encounters, she found that the musical field is not the only one concerned but that other sectors are just as affected by the difficulty of collaborating with serious, reliable and trustworthy people. Aware of the fact that the digital age has considerably transformed culture and in particular music with streaming, and fully determined to help all these artists find themselves in the jungle of these new codes, both administratively and digitally, in 2021, she decided to create Kahin@ gency, a structure in harmony with an evolving and ambitious context, but responsible, at the height of its convictions.
