Carsten Olbrich

German musician who founded Ebus Music label in 1988 and had a number of releases with several monikers and bands. After some appearances on stage with the own family-band "Familie Olbrich" and being guitar-player in his first school-band "Trümmerhaufen" (1984), Carsten Olbrich joined the band Top Of Pyramid in 1986. His first solo-project Wild Roses existed in 1988 and changed its musical attitude and its name into Always Welcome (1989). In 1989, he founded the post-NDW-project Schmertz Der Welten, which was his main project, until it broke up in 1998. In the new decade after 1989 Carsten Olbrich choosed a new main-artist-name King Ebu as successor of "Always Welcome". In 1995 he founded the punk rock band Die Traktor as guitar player, which he left in friendship in summer 2000. Mr. Welten was meant as the solo project of the leader of Schmertz Der Welten, but later in 1997 he found the new solo artist name Mr. Ebu for psychedelic-electronic-dark-spacy & mainly instrumental music, which lasts until now.

Also in 2006 Carsten Olbrich tooks influence for the revival of the punk rock band Die Hacke Peters, where he played bass guitar until 2015.
