Introduction

Ebrahim Hamedi (Persian: ابراهیم حامدی‎, also Romanized as "Ebrāhīm Hāmedī"; born 1949), better known by his stage name Ebi (Persian: ابی), is an Iranian singer. He is nicknamed as "Master of Voice" (آقای صدا). He achieved the pinnacle of his fame and success towards the end of the 1970s. His overall impact and contributions to Iranian pop music made him one of the two iconic male pop singers in the Persian speaking world next to Dariush.

Early life and career

Being born in Tehran, he is the eldest of six siblings. During a series of planned concerts in the United States, Ebi inevitably stayed there, due to the revolution of 1979.

Throughout his 50-year career, Ebi has released over 20 albums, close to 100 singles, and performed shows across the world.
