ADVISOR: SALIM NOURALLAH

Salim Nourallah is a Texas based singer-songwriter. Born in Alton, Illinois and raised in El Paso, Texas, the brothers Nourallah were mutually obsessed with the Beatles at an obscenely young age. Many years later they recorded, with boxing gloves and occasional instruments, the indie cult classic "Nourallah Brothers" CD on Western Vinyl/Secretly Canadian. That was the year 2000. Since then Salim has gone on to release 2 full-length solo albums – 'Polaroid' in 2004 and 'Beautiful Noise' in 2005. Both helped him earn an extraordinarily well-mannered European fan base. He also founded Dallas' mod-est recording studio, Pleasantry Lane, in 2003 and has recorded the Deathray Davies, Rhett Miller, the Damnwells, Old 97's, and Sorta. The German record label, Tapete, re-issued "Beautiful Noise" which garnered 2006 Dallas Observer Music Awards for Salim in three categories: Best Album, Best Song and Best Producer.
