This new bonus was placed under the sign of surprises for the students of the Star Academy 2024. Some already knew in advance who they would sing with. But that wasn't the case for Ebony. In the tape sent just before her performance, we learned that it was her father who was supposed to join her on stage.
Unfortunately, the production had to face an unforeseen event. “Everything was planned for me to sing with her, unfortunately I'm stuck on the other side of the planet. So I thought of someone, this artist agreed to play the game.“, explained Ebony's dad, via a video broadcast in this tape recorder, before this prime.
Finally, she interpreted Little Mary by Francis Cabrel with the singer Mentissa, revealed by season 10 of The Voice of which she will be a finalist. A very nice duo! “It touches me a lot, I'm so happy, I fell in love with her the first time I saw her on TV.“, reacted the young candidate after her performance, very moved.
Ebony then learned that her father was unable to come, and that it was he who thought of Mentissa. “I love you dad!”, she then blurted out, in tears (and of course sad not to have been able to experience this moment with him), before saying “hello” and also “I love you” to his mother, present in the stands.
Ebony (Star Academy 2024), her father is famous!
As a reminder, Ebony's father is none other than Thierry Cham, a zouk singer who enjoyed great success in the 2000s with the hit Ocean, viewed almost 8 million times on YouTube. If he is now more discreet, he has not abandoned Music and the stage at all since in 2023, he released the title My lovein duet with Haitian singer Leika Paul.
“Music came into my life because my father is a singer. He passed on this passion for music to me since I was very little.“, declared Ebony in her portrait. And added: “I played guitar first, then I did piano, I did music theory, then I sang, I listened to Rihanna, Diamonds in the sky, It upset me.”
