CHOBY
2 August | 18:20 | Village Stage

Choby is a Cypriot singer-songwriter and producer who brings a striking range of dynamics to his live performances, with healthy amounts of soft rock and intimate vocal moments brimming with vulnerability. Rising from the vibrant underground scene of Northern England, Choby was able to “conquer” even the most punk-loving crowds with his electrifying stage presence, lengthy guitar solos, and unique Mediterranean melodies. His performances draw comparisons to icons like Prince and Springsteen, while his development as a frontman was influenced by the scene itself, after 4 years of observing the post-punk bands of Hull.

Choby’s dedication to innovation and reinvention shines through on his debut album SKiN UNTOUCHED as he introduces fresh, bold sounds, blending the musical style of Cyprus with electronic beats, Mediterranean soul, and raw storytelling. From the catchy flamenco feel of “Red Lotus” to the reflective lyrics and country twang of “Broken Man By Design,” Choby and the band guide their audience through a sonic journey of lust, heartbreak, and the complexities of youth.
