Saleh is a Lebanese singer/songwriter/visual artist who is considered one of the founders of the Arabic independent alternative music scene in Lebanon and the Arab world.
Her voice is a soft mix between the traditional Arabic music she was raised to and the western sounds she chose to follow. Her lyrics mirror the reality of the Lebanese/Arab social and political turmoil. Since her early debut in 1990, she has experimented with various musical genres, which has resulted in a fresh and original mix of Lebanese music flavored with folk, alternative rock, bossa nova, jazz and most recently electronic music.
She survived the Lebanese civil war that started when she was 6. Saleh began her musical journey in her late teens when Alex Bessos, founder of the band “Minus Infinitee”, was searching for a lead vocalist and expressed interest in her voice. Her first live performance was at the West Hall at the American University of Beirut in 1986. The “Minus Infinitee” experience did not last long because the founder immigrated to the United States.
