Kobe Warner is an American singer, rapper, songwriter, model, actor, podcast host, and Hereditary Angioedema Advocate. Kobe was born in southern Indiana, and moved to Golden Isles, Georgia shortly after their seventh birthday. Soon after arriving on the Georgia coast, they began performing at the historic Ritz Theatre in Downtown Brunswick, and quickly realized that entertaining is their passion. Over the next fifteen years, Kobe went on to perform at many regional theatres located in the Golden Isles, in shows such as The Wizard of Oz, Shrek the Musical, The Little Mermaid, The Jungle Book, Kiss Me Kate, A Higher Place in Heaven, and most recently, the Rocky Horror Picture Show.
During high school, Kobe was a member of the Glynn Academy Players, a competitive drama troupe who eventually won a division 6A State One Act Play championship for RENT during Kobe's senior year. Prior to starring as Angel in RENT, Kobe graced the stage in Calvin Berger, Shrek the Musical, Willy Wonka, Bonnie & Clyde, Almost, Maine, Grease, Godspell, Big River & Mamma Mia with the Glynn Academy Players, while also serving as a board member & the president. They also were a member of Glynn Academy's Concert Choir where they saved as a section leader & the president.
In 2020, after a decade of exclusively performing songs penned by other people, Kobe decided it was time to start writing their own stories. This is when koblizzy was born. They released their first single with LowkeyLuke entitled “don't waste my time” on January 31, 2020. The song is a simple yet pointed message to a romantic partner in koblizzy's life: don’t waste their time.
koblizzy released their first solo single, Hometown, a year later on January 15, 2021. The track, released the very day Kobe moved to Boston for college, calls out all the people who made their childhood life difficult. From the childhood foes, the megachurch they had to leave upon coming out as gay, or the racism still ingrained in the culture that raised them and murdered Ahmaud Arbery, nobody was safe and nobody was spared. Their second solo single, entitled Bad Bitch, was released October 29, 2021 while Kobe was attending Berklee College of Music in Boston. The song, inspired by Kobe’s self love & original hot girl Megan Thee Stallion is an upbeat anthem for bad bitches everywhere.
koblizzy's four track debut extended play, Aftermath, was written & recorded during the autumn of 2021 and released on March 28, 2022. The project details the emotions surrounding the aftermath of a long relationship that didn’t end on good terms. Each of Aftermath’s four songs differ sonically, spanning various genres, but are united by the anecdotes included in their lyrics. The track list includes Jupiter, Hopelessly Devoted to You, Indescribable, and the artist's personal favorite, Don't Forget.
In May of 2022, Kobe booked their first commercial modeling campaign with Jansport through an online open call.

During July of 2022, Kobe Warner began hosting a pop culture podcast aptly titled koblizzy, an outlet for the artist to divulge their pop culture hot takes, favorite media & personal anecdotes.
In the summer of 2024, after previously serving as a Junior Youth Leadership Council member to the Hereditary Angioedema Association for seven years, Kobe became a Senior Youth Leadership Council Member.
