Born in Khorramdareh, he is the eldest of six siblings. Inspired by the Beatles, he formed a beat band known as "the Rebels" with Shahram Shabpareh and Siavash Ghomayshi in the mid 60's.[1] He was also a part of the "Sunboys" and "Black cats" bands, before embarking on a career as a solo singer.[2]

He left Iran to go on tour in the United States in 1977 prior to the Islamic Revolution of 1979.[3][4]

Among other "politically charged" songs, "Hala" (Hey), written by the Iranian poet Mina Assadi and produced by Esfandiar Monfaredzadeh, Ebi in the year of 1999 sang about the brutality of the Iranian regime and the possibility for the Iranian people to rise again. He has called this song his most important political song in an interview in 2013 with the TV channel Manoto. In 2009 Ebi again commented on the domestic politics of Iran by singing the song "Tasmim" (Decision) as a response to the 2009 presidential election.[3]

In 2020, Ebi appeared on Persia's Got Talent.[5]
