Early Life and Education

Ebrahim Hamedi was born on 19 June 1949 in Tehran, Iran, to parents referred to as Mr. and Mrs. Hamedi.

He was the eldest child, growing up with four sisters and one brother in a household where he sang for family, schoolmates, and neighborhood friends from a young age, even reciting the Quran melodically. His father hailed from Arak and his mother from Karaj.

Specific details about formal schooling are limited, with no public record of higher education or music conservatory attendance; he developed his talent through self-practice and early band work rather than structured training. He is of Persian ethnicity, and his religious background is not publicly known.

Career

Ebi began his career as a teenager in the late 1960s, joining the popular Iranian band Black Cats (also known as Sun Boys in early phases), where he performed covers and originals in Tehran and Karaj nightclubs.

The group achieved relative success with public appearances, helping him hone his skills under influences like Fereydoon Farrokhzad, who played a key role in his development.

He left Iran in 1977 for concerts in the United States, just before the 1979 Islamic Revolution forced him into permanent exile, marking a turning point as he shifted to solo work in the diaspora.

In the 1980s and beyond, Ebi established himself as a solo superstar with landmark albums like Tapesh (1974), Nazi Naz Kon (1976), Kouhe Yakh (1987), Khalij (1990), Setarehaye Sorbi (1993), and many others, releasing over 30 albums and nearly 200 singles.

He collaborated with renowned poets and producers, blending Persian melodies with pop, rock, and occasional Latin rhythms, and built a massive following through emotional storytelling in tracks that resonated deeply with listeners.

His music often carried themes of love, longing, and homeland, earning him enduring popularity.

Ebi remains one of Persian pop’s most revered icons, with a legacy of timeless hits, sold-out world tours, and influence on generations of artists.

He continues releasing music, including recent works like The Essential Ebi (2025) and singles such as Taskhir Shode (2026), while performing live and maintaining a strong connection to fans through social media and diaspora events.
