He was trained carpenter and builder. He worked in various parts of the country with various employers and and was an active sportsman of basketball, softball, rugby league. He returned to his home at Matupit Islands from 1970s'. Ephraim composed his own songs in Kuanua, Tok Pisin and English about life experiences, village and community life relationships, nature and environment and general storytelling. He lead his stringband Eagle Voice and recorded albums which have been popular songs played in radio broadcast programs. He played the steel guitar and the style of music ranged from 5 key to Hawaiian and South Pacific style music. His stringband, Eagle Voice competed in Tolai Warwagira festivals in the 1970s' and won first place awards with an example of a particular notable song from Fiji :Sulu, Sulu" and other origional composed Kuanua songs like :Papara tava alir". Ephraim later got discouraged and was not further interested in musical performances when people began using his songs without permission even recording and playing on radio. He left Eagle Voice and his band members continued on with new stringband Eagle Mix.
