A Man Of Many Talents: Kyle Deutsch
Meet Kyle Deutsch a man of many talents, born and raised in KwaZulu-Natal 1987. Kyle is well known for being a musician but we also discover that he is a national beach soccer player and a chiropractic doctor.
Following up his interest in soccer, Kyle mentioned that soccer has always been his first love. “ I loved soccer first before music. My dad was a professional footballer, he played for Durban City. So growing up I was always around a football field”, he said.
During his high school years he played various sports such as cricket, rugby, hockey, softball and baseball. In grade 11 he stopped playing all the sports and focused on football. After he matriculated, Kyle studied Chiropractics at Durban University of Technology and also played soccer at the same time. “ I finished studying when I was 23, 6 years studies, do a thesis, then my thesis ended up going on to win first place in the worldwide chiropractics studies in 2014”, said Kyle.
After braking his foot during trial at Maritzburg United he went home to rest for 6 weeks and then started his practice on chiropractics. Funny fact? Kyle went to SA Idols twice. He explained that the reason why he went to SA Idols the first time was because his friend wanted him to go. “My friend said if he goes and sings I go and sing too. Because he was bad I said if you go, I go”, Kyle said. He managed to make it through the first round but did not make it to the judges round. When he went back for the second time he made it to top 32 and started making music after that in 2012.
Kyle Deutsch has worked with the A-list artists such as Cassper Nyovest with the song Alive, Shekhinah with the song Back to the beach, DJ Fresh and many more. He explains that what happened with the hit song Back to the beach with Shekhinah was so phenomenal that they even won MTV award Best African pop.
Looking inside his medical career, Kyle said that he went into chiropractics knowing that he loves sports as this was going to give him the opportunity to be forever involved in sports. He also mentions that his relationship with his patients is so healthy.
Between soccer, music and chiropractics, Kyle believes that he is much better at music first, chiropractics and then soccer. At this point in his life music is his number one favorite. “Music is creative, it lasts a lot more longer”, he said.
An update with Kyle’s relationship status? “Am married and I am expecting a kid at the end of January”, said Kyle.
At the end of the interview, Kyle gave words of wisdom and motivation as to how possible everything is. He said “ Don’t just stand there. If you are just standing there it means there could be something you are supposed to be doing or that you missing out on. And then taking every opportunity I think goes hand in hand with don’t just stand there, you know you could be in such a great place God has put you in the moment and then instead of helping that person which would’ve helped you, you don’t end up doing so. It can be easy to miss out and think that you are not worthy of it, but really it was just that you were supposed to do it and get it done.
