My family mostly listened to Arabic music and their taste in western music was limited to disco – ABBA and the Bee Gees most notably. My second birthday was also spent strumming on a toy guitar I had asked my parents to buy me. I have photos of myself at not even one year old, carrying tennis rackets like one would carry a guitar, strumming imaginary strings. RS: I got into music very intuitively as a toddler. How did you get into music – are your family musical? I’ve been living here since, albeit while still spending a lot of time in Paris every year, which I consider to be my second home. I came back to Lebanon and settled in Beirut in 2011. It was there that my former band Slutterhouse managed to make a little noise in the music industry. After graduating from high school, I moved to Paris, France, where I lived between 20. I spent my whole childhood there between music, literature, basketball, boxing and water polo. Rabih Salloum: I was born and raised in Junieh, a coastal city in Lebanon, 20 km north of Beirut. Peek-A-Boo Magazine were delighted to talk to him.Ĭan you tell me a bit about where you were born and grew up?
Recent release, “Smithereens,” the lead single from forthcoming album, “Heartrage Hotel,” marks Salloum's welcome return to the music world, on a self-stated mission to “bring rock back to the pop charts. He's also an author, model, nightclub-owner and, apparently, “only owns black clothes.” Lebanese electro-pop duo Slutterhouse disbanded almost a decade ago. For a start, he's spent extensive time in the world of academia, working as a philosophy lecturer. Former Slutterhouse frontman, Rabih Salloum, who records as Grave Jones, is not your typical rock musician.
