President Boakai Appoints Kobazzie as Entertainment Ambassador

Monrovia, Liberia: President Joseph Nyuma Boakai has appointed popular Liberian Afropop artist Korte Dorbor Bazzie, widely known as Kobazzie, as Liberia’s Ambassador for Entertainment.

The pronouncement was made by Presidential Press Secretary Kula Fofana during the executive Mansion Regular press Briefing Friday March 13, 2026.

The appointment brings one of Liberia’s most well-known musicians into a role expected to help promote and support the country’s entertainment industry.

Since the 2023 General Elections, Kobazzie has often been seen at government programs and national events, where he performs and also helps give other Liberian artists a platform.

At the official reopening of the National Oil Company of Liberia (NOCAL), Kobazzie invited young Liberian artists Flash and 1030 to perform on stage in front of President Boakai and other officials.

Many observers say the move showed his willingness to support upcoming talents in the country.

Kobazzie, whose full name is Korte Dorbor Bazzie, was born on November 29, 1989, in Voinjama, Lofa County. He later moved to Monrovia where he developed a strong interest in music.

He graduated from Cuttington University with a degree in Accounting and Business Management, but later decided to focus on music.

Known by many fans as “The Lorma Boy,” Kobazzie has grown to become one of Liberia’s most recognized Afropop artists.

Music Career

Kobazzie began gaining attention in Liberia’s music scene in the mid-2010s when his songs started receiving heavy airplay on radio stations and social media.

Some of his popular songs include:

• Bounce
• My Baby
• Jorley
• Sleep for What

His music combines Afropop, dancehall, and Liberian street style, which has helped him build a strong following, especially among young people.

With this new appointment, Kobazzie is expected to help promote Liberian music, support young artists, and contribute to the growth of the country’s entertainment sector.
