Ebenezer was born to Miss Juliet Gladys Osafo and Mr Fred K. Annor on 17 April 1987 in Kukurantumi-Akim town in the Eastern Region of Ghana. He was the second last of the six siblings. He began school at Asafo-Akim and later joined Ofori Panin Senior High School where he studied Visual Arts. At Ofori Panin Senior High School, Xbills Ebenezer won the Best Visual Arts student in his class for a couple of times. Inspired by the colorful and artistic nature of the Michael Jackson culture during his high school days, he began singing to beats and miming to songs. He dreamed of creating fictional movies that could be as wild, and more horrible than Michael Jackson's. As young as he was, he would sketch movies on pieces of paper in pictorial forms; which were well understood by anyone who read them. These pictorial forms equally had good literary elements. He started full-time music video production in 1997, and his breakthrough video was Gurunkz "Lapaz Toyota" which was shot in 2011. [9]
