Salim Nourallah

Based out of Dallas, TX, Salim Nourallah is a songwriter and vocalist whose resumé ranges from quiet ballads to rave-up rock. Nourallah first came to the public's attention in 2001 with the release of two very different albums -- Nourallah Brothers, a collection of intelligent and atmospheric pop songs written and recorded with his brother Faris Nourallah, and Self-Improvement?, the uptempo power pop-styled debut from Salim's other group, the Happiness Factor. In 2003, Salim also launched a solo career with the release of the EP A Way to Your Heart; a full-length solo project, Polaroid, followed in 2004. Nourallah has also toured as a bassist with the Instigators, Rhett Miller's backing band for the first solo tour by the Old 97's vocalist. ~ Mark Deming, All Music Guide
