Faysal Bibi is an electronic musician and producer currently based in Beirut. After years spent playing guitar in rock and metal bands in Lebanon and then the US (where he spent some time learning about fossils), Faysal embraced his inner circuitry and entered the dimensionless realm of electronica where he quickly became the best prosthetically-modified midi-laptop musician-robot, ever. Faysal regularly performs original live sets under the name OkyDoky, and is a member of the Beirut powerpop duo Qashta.
