Rabih's music has been entertaining a handful of loyal fans online, ranging from all ages and nationalities.
Praised by fans and music analysts for his "melodic" compositions, Rabih has also established himself as a first class eye-opening Keyboard player who is well respected by many fellow musicians around the globe.
Two of his compositions(The Flow and Life Story) hit the N' 1 spot on the internet jazz charts in 2006 ! Many others of Rabih's compositions are still way up on the internet jazz charts till today.
Rabih's influences LITERALLY cross all genres of music, from Bach to Nirvana... but most significantly, he is influenced by Chick Corea and Aziza Mustafa Zadeh.
Born and raised in Lebanon, he started piano at the age of 6, then moved to USA in 1999 and attended Berklee college of music, where he improved his jazz composition skills but also discovered the world of electronic music.
While in USA, Rabih had the pleasure to record studio projects with some of today's most exciting and well known jazz musicians, such as Martin Valihora(drummer for Hiromi), Mitch Cohn (bassist for Waking Vision), Gilad Ronin (Herbie Hancock), Franco Pinna (New York based session Drummer) and many more.... He has also played with various forming Fusion and Blues bands around Boston and Philly.
His latest live project was "The Dream Will Come", a powerful fusion trio consisting of Kyle Mastropietro on Drums, Steve Ambrasio on electric bass. and Rabih on Keyboards.
"The Dream Will Come" gained a lot of respect on the Philadelphia jazz music scenes and was "on fire" while it lasted.
Currenty, Rabih is working on the compositions of his second LP which promises to have a dramatically more complex and more evolved sound than his successful debut LP "The Dream Will Come".
When i asked Rabih what inspires him as a composer, he said:
"Anything could inspire me! a painting, an action movie, a romantic story, a beautifull person, sadness, hapiness, a sunset, a rainy day, snow, sunshine...anything!" . As for bands he likes, Rabih finds it difficult to embody all of his favorites on this page because there are too many to list, but, he notes: "I grew up listening to heavy metal and i still do....I am also a huge fan of Rock n Roll's electric guitar virtuosos... and I like blues and Rock'n'Roll in general...".
Well, Whatever it is, it gave birth to an elegant gripping sound coming from an exciting and undeniable talent.
So take his hand....and enjoy the ride.....

H. Jackson Brown: Good character is more to be praised than outstanding talent. Most talents are, to some extent, a gift. Good character, by contrast, is not given to us. We have to build it, piece by piece -- by thought, choice, courage, and determination.
