Cobi

Born and raised in the remote town of Grand Marais, Minnesota, Cobi was already performing in smoky small-town bars as a teenager, developing the powerful vocals, distinctive guitar style, and commanding stage presence that would later define him.

He first gained widespread attention with the release of “Don’t You Cry for Me” in 2016, when the song reached No. 1 on Spotify’s Global Viral Chart. Since then, Cobi has amassed more than 220 million streams across digital platforms, appeared on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon and the acclaimed French music program Taratata, toured internationally, and performed at renowned venues including Royal Albert Hall, the Hollywood Bowl, and the Sydney Opera House.

His albums, including Songs From the Ashes and Love in the Wildwood, each mark a different chapter in his artistic evolution. Released in 2026, Wake Up To The Light traces a journey through loss, resilience, and renewal, moving between the darker tones of “Karma”, the stark isolation of “Out Here”, the optimism of the title track, and the uplifting spirit of “Music Is Healing”. With Wake Up To The Light, Cobi delivers his most personal work yet.
