Småll Sessions: COBI, Maria Kelly, Dalee

**\*\*COBI**

Born on the legendary Highway 61 in Minnesota, Cobi’s roots as a singer run deep. A young blues guitar prodigy, Cobi began performing in clubs and cut his teeth playing long nights in smoke-filled bars across the USA. The endless roads of his homeland led him to Los Angeles, a recording contract with a major label in his pocket.

The first to spot his potential was Lyor Cohen, co-president of Def Jam record. Cobi’s first single, ”Don’t you cry for me”, went straight to the top of Spotify’s worldwide charts, as well as to #1 on SiriusXM Spectrum Radio.

**\*\*MARIA KELLY**

Nestled somewhere in the West of Ireland, Maria Kelly is writing songs for sensitivities, painting strength and vulnerability as one and the same. Her world of delicately woven indie-folk is laced with a sincerity that cuts to the bone - something that has garnered a dedicated audience across the globe. Having independently released her debut album to critical acclaim, Maria’s second offering ‘Waiting Room’ is due in early 2025. Holding a mirror up to the quiet realities of chronic pain, indecision, and self-abandonment, this record aims to reclaim power in the powerless situations, and is set to be Maria’s most affecting to date.

**\*\* DALEE

**Berlin-based musician Dalee, she/her pronouns, is a genre-blending artist with a sound that marries contemporary R&B, jazz, and pop. Her musical journey began in Berlin, where she studied music production and vocals. A pivotal semester in London deepened her love for songwriting and the city's music scene. Her music and voice can be described as pure, silky, and smooth, enveloping listeners in a world of sonic elegance.
