Ebony, born Priscilla Opoku-Kwarteng, rose to fame with hit songs that resonated deeply with young audiences and helped shape contemporary Ghanaian music. Her vibrant personality and on-stage presence endeared her to fans across the country and beyond, earning her both critical acclaim and widespread popularity before her life was cut short in a road accident in 2018.

During the commemoration, family members spoke about how much they miss her but also shared smiles and laughter as they reflected on the joy she brought to those around her.

Friends and collaborators also emphasised that her influence can be seen in the paths of artists who followed, particularly women in Ghanaian music who have said she helped open doors for them.

Organisers of the commemoration stressed that the focus was not just the sadness of her loss but a celebration of the positive impact she had on many lives. By sharing stories, performing her songs and coming together in community, those who gathered honoured both the artistic legacy and the personal warmth Ebony brought to her fans and loved ones.
