Chris Cobb’s journey from the rural banks of Papua New Guinea's Bulolo River to the bright lights of The Voice Australia is a story of heart, faith, and pure determination. Now based on the Sunshine Coast, he is quickly carving out a unique and compelling space within the Australian country music scene.
Growing up in a small gold-mining town, Chris’s deep connection to storytelling was shaped by listening to country songs on an old transistor radio and learning guitar from his uncles. After building a reputation across PNG for his soulful voice and acoustic rhythms, he made the life-changing decision in 2022 to leave a stable corporate career and pursue music full-time. Relocating to Queensland, he rebuilt his career from the ground up, blending traditional country, soul, and Aussie rock into an authentic sound that feels universally like home.
2025 marked a massive turning point when Chris delivered a powerful rendition of Cold Chisel’s "When the War Is Over" on The Voice Australia, earning a coveted four-chair turn and a standing ovation. His journey on the show was unforgettable—highlighted by a battle duet of "Bed of Roses" that prompted coaches Ronan Keating, Richard Marx, and Mel C to all hit their save buttons. Ultimately moving to Team Richard, he advanced through the knockout rounds, showcasing his immense emotion and vocal range.
A grounded, family-oriented performer driven by faith, Chris’s true magic shines on stage. His impressive live resume spans singing for 15,000 fans at the Digicel Cup Grand Final in Port Moresby at the Prime Minister's invitation, sharing the stage with Ronan Keating in Singapore, and performing at major community events across the Sunshine Coast. He views his success as a platform to inspire others, proving that with hard work and heart, even the most impossible dreams can come true.
