Cobi: The Passing of Cobi's Father, Honing His Craft in Dive Bars, and The Power of Fasting

Today on Auxoro, I speak with Cobi, a singer, songwriter, and producer hailing from Minnesota who is signed to 300 entertainment. Cobi burst onto the scene as the guitarist and vocalist in the band Gentleman Hall and later left to pursue his own solo career. His 2016 single ‘Don’t You Cry for Me’ has over 36 million streams on Spotify alone. And he just released a new single titled ‘Island In My Mind.’ Last year, Cobi’s father passed away while Cobi simultaneously became a father himself. According to Cobi, “A lot of people ask me where I’ve been lately, The answer is I’ve been crafting new material while going through some of the most profound changes in my life. 19 months ago I became a father. While I was adapting and learning from that, I watched my own father’s health deteriorate.” In this conversation, you’ll hear the intricacies behind Cobi’s creative process, how he handled the passing of his father while also becoming a father, the early days as a performer, intermittent fasting, and more.
