ebin is a raw recipe of acoustic soul, hard-lived rock, and depth of character. If Jesus Christ and Saint Lucifer had a son together he would sing ebin's song. "The perfect song rings with imperfection," says ebin "A peridoxal TRUTH."
Why this name?
It's my name... I'm a solo artist. I feel my name is unique. It came to my mother in a dream. A young man walked up to her and shook her hand saying "Hi, my name's ebin, I'm your son." She woke up immediately woke my dad up to tell him that she was pregnant, that they were having a boy, and that his name was to be ebin!
Do you play live?
I play live to live! I play anywhere that my soul feels like singing, but especially concerts & festivals. I LOVE IT! I remember playing at this rock club called The Old Prospector once. I was with a full band a we were on fire LITERALLY! I was half- way through my song "Feel the Love" when I busted out one of my flamable picks and played a solo with my pick on fire. That was no big deal... it's when I couldn't put it out and had to throw it out on the dance floor that I started freaking out. Luckily there were enough people on the dance floor to stomp it out in a hurry! Coulda had a good lawsuit there. heheh
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
It allows young guys like me who have a dream and vision to reach out to the entire world. We're no longer bound to our measley one-horse towns or slumy ghetto shack parties. We can reach out, it doesn't matter who you are and touch the globe. I can say I'm an international artist because of the internet since I've sold CD's in 3 different continents.
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
Hmmmmm... ARE YOU KIDDING? If LA Reed offered me a deal I'd do the next best thing to selling my soul.
Band History:
ebin barnett is a soulful rocker from the mountains of Wyoming, whose passion for singing started at five years old, followed by the guitar at 12 and the writing of his first song at 14. He was traveling all over the West coast playing lead guitar and singing with his father, who is also an entertainer, by the age of 16. In 1999, he moved to the Coachella Valley to continue his musical journey.
ebin is the complete package; dreamy, rocker good looks, charismatic charm, and the most important ingredient of all- a wealth of talent.
With his sexy, soulful baritone that runs the gamut from Scott Stapp to Shawn Mullins; his melodic hook, hit-songwriting abilities similar to Rob Thomas’; and his amazing guitar playing- ebin definitely has what it takes to be the next big thing as well as a long term career artist.
During his live shows- whether playing solo with just his acoustic guitar and harmonica or with a backup band- ebin has the ability to command his audience’s attention and hold them in the palm of his hand.
But his talent doesn’t stop there. Early in 2002, ebin released his first CD, Freedom, on his own independent record label, Puzzle Productions. Not only did he write all 10 songs, he also played most of the instruments as well as handling producer duties. Not bad for only being 20.
On Freedom, ebin shows just how musically versatile he is. From melodic rockers like “Run Away,” “Water To Wine” and “When You Come Down,” to beautiful ballads like “Let’s Not Say Goodbye” and “Another Perfect Sunrise,” to the bluesy “I Know You Want Me,” to the dance oriented “Back At The Start,” and of course the anthemic title-track- Freedom is chock full of contagious songs with catchy choruses that you can’t get out of your head.
Even though he is still busy promoting Freedom, ebin is currently in his Puzzle Productions studio recording his follow-up CD to be titled, Just As I Am.
The versatility continues with tracks such as the upbeat, feel-good, rap rock track “Feel The Love,” the in-your-face hard rockers like “Blood Brothers,” “OK” and “Breakout,” and lush ballads like “Angel Of My Life” and “Mona Lisa,” which showcase ebin’s passionate vocals. Every song offered is radio-ready with ‘hit song’ written all over it.
It’s only a matter of time before the rest of the world knows what the Coachella Valley already does- ebin is a force to be reckoned with. Soulful rock music at it’s finest.
ebin is now available for interviews. For more information or to book ebin please contact his manager Tracy Dietlin.
