Mahdi Ebadi (born February 14, 2002, in Bamyan, Afghanistan) is an Afghan actor and film composer. He is also known by the nickname "Mehdi."
He began his career in 2018 through Afghan Film, where he built early experience across acting and production work. Since then, he has continued developing his craft through local Afghan film and media projects, with a focus on learning, collaboration, and supporting the growth of cinema culture among Afghan creatives.
On television, he is associated online with the series Argvan, broadcast on TOLO TV, as part of his acting path.
Alongside acting, Mahdi is active in music and composition, with an emphasis on instrumental and cinematic production that blends modern rhythms and rap-influenced elements. His goal is often described as creating music that supports mood and reflection, especially for people impacted by conflict and displacement. He has also explored vocals at times, but much of his output is presented as non-verbal or score-like work.
A key part of his creative identity is collaboration. Online biographies and credits commonly connect him with ongoing collaborations involving Aryana Sayeed and Sofi Shoaib. For context, Aryana Sayeed’s publicly listed discography includes tracks such as "Zan" on Spotify (listed there with a 2019 release date).
Some sources also credit Mahdi with a collaborative project titled "Brand Watch" (2021) and describe it as having six tracks: Relaxation, Mistake, Money, P.A.R.A.D.O.X, World Wide, and Back Sun. (Note: titles and dates can appear differently across platforms depending on spelling, translation, or where the release was uploaded.)
Outside of production and screen work, he is often described as someone who uses his free time for practice, planning, and reading, with an interest in self-development and long-term creative growth.
After spending time in Turkey during 2018-2019, he later continued his career in Canada, where he remains active as an Afghan actor and composer while continuing to connect with Afghan film and music communities.
