Islam Chipsy

Islam Said , stage name Islam Chipsy , is an Egyptian musician. His music incorporates elements of traditional Arabic wedding and electronic instruments. Their style is seen as part of a new wave of Shaabi music, referred to as electro-shaabi or Mahraganat (Arabic: مهرجانات) (although Chipsy dissociates himself from this, as his music is primarily instrumental).

He was formerly a member of Egyptian electronic music group EEK (or Islam Chipsy and EEK). He was later a member of another Egyptian electronic music group, called Dabke.

Career Said adopted the stage name Chipsy when another keyboardist with name "Islam Said" began to take credit for his tracks. Since Said was frequently seen eating Chipsy (local brand of Lay's crisps in Egypt), people started to refer to him by the name, and it stuck.

He played the keyboard alongside two other band members, Khaled Mando and Islam Tata,

Said's profile in Western media has grown, along with other electro-shaabi artists who are also signed to the 100COPIES label in Cairo (Said since 2014).

In 2014, Chipsy and EEK gave toured the UK, performing live to crowds in Bristol, London, and Newcastle.
