About Qobi
Artist Biography
In the artist’s words:
Describe one of your earliest musical memories in detail. I think listening to artists like Bebe Winans, Rihanna or even Miley Cyrus on the way home from school after rugby practice. They really shaped my music taste and led me to artists like Burningforestboy, SZA, Cigarettes After Sex and KSI presently.
What are your top 3 all-time favorite albums on Apple Music, and why? Why did you choose these three albums in particular? Adele, 25 Adele, 30 Jorja Smith, Lost & Found The stories told in these projects, for me, are just unmatched. The use of instruments along with beautiful vocals and just the ability to fill the heart. There's nothing comparable.
Find a song of yours on Apple Music that you love and tell us what makes it special. Tell us why you chose this song. “Like I'm Floating (feat. Sana)” I love this song because it just completes my transition and prepares everyone for the new me. The better me, the me that's trying to be there for you when nobody else is.
What’s one of the most memorable moments in your career so far? I think it was when I performed at a formal function and I just had everyone listening to me, so immersed and feeling every emotion in my voice. It meant a lot to see people appreciate me and my music.
Is there anything left on your bucket list as an artist or band? I would say just reaching a point in my life where I can finally go on a full tour. I'd also like to work with Jorja Smith, Post Malone and Jess Glyne sometime in the future. I think just working hard enough to make this full time is on there too.
