Kobie Dee – Articulating Moments
‍

Kobie Dee is a Gomeroi artist from Maroubra in South Sydney, on Bidjigal Land, and one of the most compelling voices emerging in Australian hip hop today. Known for his sharp storytelling and deeply personal lyrics, Kobie’s music reflects life growing up in South Sydney, the responsibilities of culture, and the power of community.

With an innate ability to connect with young people, Kobie’s work extends beyond the stage. Alongside his music career, he remains deeply engaged in community work, using hip hop as a platform to inspire and uplift the next generation.
