Kobby Wright: The Voice Turning Truth into Poetry and Silence into Sound

In a world that often prizes noise over meaning, Kobby Wright offers something different a voice that doesn’t just perform, but pierces.

A spoken word artist, poet, and storyteller, Kobby is more than his verses. He is a curator of emotion, a vessel of truth, and a witness to the complexities of the human condition. With a tone that walks the line between vulnerability and conviction, he transforms pain into power and silence into connection.

Kobby’s themes are as wide as they are deep: identity, justice, love, community, trauma, resilience, and grace. His performances are intimate yet commanding the kind that draw a room to stillness and then break it open.

But more than performance, his mission is purpose. Kobby doesn’t write for applause; he writes to spark reflection, to fuel conversations, and to remind us that stories especially our stories matter.

At the Ehalakasa National Slam Prelims 2025, Kobby Wright brings this mission to the stage. And if history is any indication, the crowd won’t just listen. They’ll remember.
