His solo-debut album Diversity was released in 2021 to remarkable reviews, appearing amongst the Top-Ten ‘Best of the world’ for SongLines Magazine UK.

He then released his third Album, Revolt For Change, composed of 7 new songs.

In 2022 Ebo was awarded the Swedish Grammy, composer of the year at the world & folk music ceremony, Africa Is More and received the “Rhythm of the year” award at the prestigious Manifest gala.
