Ebrahim Hamedi (or Ebi) was born on June 19, 1949 in Tehran. He started his career as a young teenager with a band called Sun Boys. Ebi first got national attention with the song "Shab" that got played on Ferydon Farokhzad's TV show. Soon after he met Shahbal Shabpareh and his brother Shahram. Ebi joined their new group "Black Cats" and they spent many nights performing at the Kochini club in Tehran.
He began his solo career by releasing the albums "Tapesh", "Nazi Naz Kon", "Shab Zade" and "Gole Yakh". During the 1990s, Ebi worked with Shahram Azar (from Sandy) who helped with new arrangements of Ebi's songs. In fact, most of the songs that Ebi performs live in concert have a different arrangement than their album version. Ebi also teamed up with Siavash Ghomayshi who helped produce the albums "Setarehaye Sorbi" and "Shab-e Niloufari".
Ebi currently lives, with his wife, in Spain and they spend much of their time as well in Sweden and L.A.
