Kobe Warner is an American singer, rapper, songwriter, model, actor, podcast host, public speaker & Hereditary Angioedema Advocate. Born in southern Indiana, Kobe moved to Golden Isles, Georgia with their family shortly after their seventh birthday. Almost immediately after arriving on the Georgia coast, Kobe attended a theatre summer camp at the historic Ritz Theatre in Downtown Brunswick, and quickly realized that entertaining on stage is their passion. A theatrical mentor spoke a classic metaphor over Kobe when they were young that stuck with them: the smell of grease paint runs through my veins. 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 before moving away in 2020. In 2024, after a few years performing on other stages, Kobe returned to the historic Ritz Theatre to assume the starring role of Dr. Frank-N-Furter in the Rocky Horror Picture Show.
​
During high school, Kobe was a member of the Glynn Academy Players, a decorated competitive drama troupe who won the division 6A State One Act Play championship for their production of RENT, where Kobe portrayed Angel. Prior to becoming a state champion, Kobe graced the Glynn Academy stage in Calvin Berger, Shrek the Musical, Willy Wonka, Bonnie & Clyde, Almost Maine, Grease, Godspell, Big River & Mamma Mia, while serving as a board member & president. They also were a member of Glynn Academy's award winning concert choir where they served as Tenor section leader & 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. That's when koblizzy was born. koblizzy 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 their lives: 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 local culture that raised them & took Ahmaud Arbery's life, nobody was safe & 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 & their favorite rapper Megan Thee Stallion, is an upbeat, no-nonsense 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.
