Vocalist, poet, and teaching artist, Eboniramm was born in Manning, SC. A mother and twin daughter, she currently lives in Columbia, SC where she conducts jazz and poetry workshops in schools, libraries and community learning centers. Eboniramm’s written word reads like the robust sounds that emanate from her voice. Through song and spoken word, her quest to bring forth the inherent wisdom buried in us all is furthered as she seeks pathways of expression and reflection.
Eboniramm fell in love with the arts at a very young age and was encouraged throughout her youth which lead to the sold-out debut of her first one woman show, “An Evening with Eboniramm”. Soon thereafter she formed a partnership with both the SC Poetry Initiative and the Auntie Karen Foundation to conduct spoken word and poetry workshops within local schools. Over the years, she has served as Poet–in-Residence of the Sumter Opera House in Sumter, SC and Poet-in-Residence for the Benjamin E. Mays Homestead in Greenwood, SC.
Eboniramm continues to serve her community as a Richland County Public Library (RCPL) Literary Resident as well as a featured musician of SC-ETV's education web portal knowitall.org.
A highlight of her career as a teaching artist is her residency with VSA Arts of SC, conducting jazz appreciation workshops for consumers with various disabilities. Eboniramm has two CDs to her credit, the 2004 release of her poetry CD “Passion” and the recent release of her seminal jazz CD “The Look of Love.”
As a jazz vocalist, Eboniramm has been very busy. Adding to performances at venues such as the Columbia Museum of Art, Gallery 80808, Dianne’s on Devine, the Blue Martini, and Hunter Gatherer’s, she has been a featured artist on the SCETV sound stage at the SC State Fair, the Riverwalk Festival, at the Cultural Council’s Founders Dinner, the SC Poetry Summit and the SC Poetry Initiative Statewide Awards Ceremony, the RCPL Harlem Renaissance Live Project and the Library’s Celebration of Black Music.
