She has proven she is comfortable in a wide range of genres from hip-hop and rap to R&B; a mark of a true talent.

My father always made me listen to great music and musicians, I think I knew the whole BeeGees catalog before I was six, he made sure I was exposed to all genres. It was like he knew this was my calling. She admits.

Creatively, Ebony is heading toward her apex as she continues to work with some of the music industry's best and release her own debut album. This lyricist is sure to please listeners and audiences alike on her steady rise to FAME.
