Iona Reine beamed with a smile as she passionately sang Nigerian gospel musician Nathaniel Bassey's 2016 hit song, Onise Iyanu from the album, This God Is Too Good, while carefully wrapping her hair with a black head wrap.

The latest video of Iona Reine marked a rare public appearance for the singer, who has disappeared from the limelight in recent years.

The young singer rose to prominence in the Ghanaian entertainment industry following the untimely passing of songstress, Priscilla Opoku-Kwarteng, popularly known as Ebony Reigns, who was involved in a tragic accident on February 8, 2018, whilst returning from Sunyani to Accra after a visit to her mother.

Iona Reine's striking resemblance to the late 21-year-old former VGMA Artiste of the Year award recipient catapulted her to stardom and made some Ghanaians believe they were actual siblings.

During a short spell in the music industry, the singer released a few dancehall and highlife songs which received positive reviews from critics and massive airplay.
