Michael Bibi

About

Michael Bibi is an emblematic figure reshaping the electronic music scene with a narrative as compelling as his beats. Raised in the vibrant streets of London, Bibi’s musical journey began in the eclectic atmosphere of his childhood home, where blues and moody melodies were a constant. With the guidance of his father, a renowned blues guitarist, Bibi developed an early appreciation for music's depth and diversity, playing the guitar by the age of 10. This foundation laid the groundwork for his foray into electronic music at 13, marking the start of an audacious career defined by resilience, innovation and a deep-rooted passion for sound. Bibi’s early encounters with the music industry were characterized by determination and a relentless drive to carve out his own space. Unfazed by the industry's complexities and the necessity of connections, he embarked on a journey of self-discovery, traveling and knocking on every door in Brixton with a USB stick in hand, ready to showcase his unique sound. This period of exploration culminated in the creation of Solid Grooves, a brand and movement that epitomizes Bibi’s ethos: to make his mark through sheer tenacity and the power of his music. Known for his popular underground productions including “Different Side” and his 2018 “Got The Fire” EP - which have collectively amassed more than 25 million streams on Spotify alone - Bibi has carved a niche for himself with a remarkable ability to resonate with a global audience through his music. His ascent was further propelled via crowning achievements including: his first residency at the legendary Privilege; enduring his Solid Grooves DC-10 Residency in Ibiza; a surprise sunset set at Glastonbury; and his award-winning remix of “La Murga”, which clinched the DJ Mag’s best remix award in 2022. In March 2023, Bibi’s life took a dramatic turn when he was diagnosed with CNS Lymphoma, ushering in a period of profound personal reflection. Through his battle and - thankful - subsequent remission, Bibi emerged with a renewed sense of purpose and perspective, embodying a philosophy of living to the fullest and embracing every moment. This experience has not only shaped him as an individual but has deeply influenced his connection with his fans and the music community - who rallied around him - providing unwavering support and strength. Bibi is returning to the global stage with his "One Life" World Tour - celebrations of life, resilience and the joy of being present. 2024 marks THE YEAR of Michael Bibi, highlighted by his impactful comebacking at Coachella, where he delivered an awe-inspiring 3+ hour set on the new Quasar Stage. This will be followed by a monumental homecoming at London’s Finsbury Park, poised to be the city’s largest electronic event to date. Bibi’s vision for these shows is clear: to create an environment where fun, life and music intersect in a genuine and unpretentious manner. It’s a call to drop the pretenses, to lose oneself in the moment, and to truly live.
