Early Life and Education

Korte Dorbor Bazzie (36 years old) was born on November 29, 1989, in Voinjama, Lofa County, Liberia, home to the Lorma ethnic group. Growing up in a modest family, he was inspired by traditional Liberian sounds and church music.

He attended St. Michael’s Catholic School in Monrovia after relocating from Lofa County and later enrolled at Cuttington University, where he studied Accounting and Management, graduating in 2017.

His interest in music began during his university days, heavily influenced by Quincy B, one of Liberia’s most celebrated producers and singers, who mentored him before his untimely death. Kobazzie has often described Quincy B’s“State of Emergency” as the song that inspired him to pursue music seriously.

Kobazzie began gaining traction in the Liberian music scene in the mid-2010s. After meeting producer Quincy B, he recorded and released his debut single “Sleep for What” in 2017, which became an instant hit across Liberia and within the diaspora community. The song’s success positioned him among Liberia’s leading emerging artists.

Following the success of his debut, he released the hit single “Bounce”, later remixed with Nigerian superstar Davido, a collaboration that significantly expanded his audience across West Africa.

In 2021, Kobazzie collaborated with Ghanaian artist Stonebwoy on “Everyday,” blending Afropop and dancehall with a pan-African sound that received international airplay. Other notable singles include “Go Low” (2022), “Kill a Man” (2022), and “Respect Urself” (2021).
