Born and bred in New York City, at the age of 15, the sport of gymnastics became Ebon Grayman's first love.  In 1995, Ebon transformed from an elite gymnast to a performer, when he was recruited by Cirque Du Soleil and began touring with their show Alegria.  In his eight years with Alegria, Ebon has become most known for his character,  "Monsieur Fleur",  the humped backed ringmaster.  Ebon has also performed in Zumanity, another Cirque Du Soleil show permanently based in Las Vegas.  In Zumanity, he took on the dual role of aerialist and the mythical, half man half beast character,  "Pan".  Now residing in New Zealand, Ebon continues to perform as well as, pass on the knowledge that he has gained in his many years of competing and performing.
