Bio

Samuel Kobina Roberts, Kobina (means, born on Tuesday, pronounced Kobna) made his arrival in this world into the Fanti-tribe, brother-tribe of the Ashanti in Ghana.

In Paris, he became the face for United Colors of Benetton,
Numerous prestigious print, film & television credits and recordings include "Reggae Rhapsody" on an HBO-film-soundtrack, a remake of an oldie "Oh Child" plus various writing songs for other artists.

In 2007 he built the band known as “Kobina. This marriage of strong songwriter skill mixed with excellent musician-ship, turned out to be just organically right. The band became the forerunners of 2007's "Battle Of The Band." while recording and winning Lincoln's Spotlight Video competition with his contribution "Live Your Dream."

Kobina’s timeless elegance and sensitivity with an understated taste and passion remains completely contemporary and true in attitude and sound. Warm, intimate and sensitive, almost spare, his songs describe the secret murmur’s of the heart’s desires. The songs Strange Life and You Lift Me High are almost stripped down and subtle. Kobina’s laid-back grooves seduce with a warm coolness. The band attracts a diverse multi-racial audience who are drawn by the band’s open-minded and intimate and musical approach to music.

In 2009 and 2010 along writing a score for a musical he also started working with management & A&R's of developing young artists, placing and developing songs.

Kobina’s highly anticipated follow up and brand new single "Love Again" brings a new sound, more upbeat & electronic, with a change in the band, adding Yaz Fukuoka on piano/keys, Daniel Haedicke on guitar and Glenn Grossman still on drums.
