A 17 year old rising singer has outlandishly claimed that the spirit of Ebony lives within her and that it enables her to sing exactly like the late dancehall star.
Doris Inkoom, known professionally as Chikel, claims that whenever she starts to sing a spirit enters her which she believes to be that of Ebony and which makes her voice sound like the ‘Kupe’ hitmaker.
Obviously a poor (and tasteless) attempt to generate hype using Ebony, Chikel told a reporter that she believes Ebony’s spirit lives within her.
“Anytime I get behind the microphone in the studio to record a song, I feel something strange within me, is more than extra energy and when I finish recording the song my voice looks like that of Ebony.” she said.
“Sometimes I even get stunned by the whole situation. I don’t want to be like her but I think she lives in me because the output of my voice always resembles hers.”
Her manager also concurred, claiming that: “The first day I meet Chikel I told her that, Chikel you get the talent that can replace that of Ebony but she didn’t believe it till we got to the studio to record her first song. After recording her first song, where she got to believe what I was telling her earlier.
“Chikel is not trying to imitate Ebony but she get the same qualities like that of Ebony. I didn’t want this to go public but I have to do so because sometimes her voice sounds very similar like that of Ebony and it makes it difficult for a lot of people to spot the difference. So all that I can say now is she is unique that I need everyone’s support.” he added.
