Ebony Davis

My name is Ebony Chanta Lajoya’Davis, born in Bremerton on August 27, 1984. I was about 4 or 5 years of age when I found out that I was blessed with the gift of musical talent. My mother would pry me out from the bathroom mirror, with my brush in my right hand and a smile from ear to ear, like I was the best thing since kool aide. I grew up singing the gospel in my home church Emmanuel Apostolic church, songs that I remember singing, were songs by few of my heroes. “The Greatest Love”, by Whitney Houston, “Hero”, by Mariah Carry and the song that brings everyone back to their church roots, “Sparrow”.

Throughout my childhood years, I participated in my churches children’s choir and the youth choir. In middle school, I tried out for every solo. One significant moment I can remember while in middle school is going to the Bremerton High School to sing with their choir. I had a solo with one of the best singers at the high school, she finished her part and I began to sing. Everyone stood there with their jaws dropped, thinking how this little girl had such a big great voice. After middle school I went on to Jr high and joined the Musical Theater Program. For two years I performed in competitions, talents shows, musical shows and did a lot of dance choreography for the program and outside of school with friends.
