About

Elijah Hewson fronts Inhaler, an Irish rock band that turned Dublin schoolyard chemistry into three albums in four years. Born in 1999 to U2's Bono and activist Ali Hewson, he formed the group in late 2012 with Robert Keating (bass), Ryan McMahon (drums), and Josh Jenkinson (guitar). Inhaler released It Won't Always Be Like This, Cuts and Bruises, and Open Wide across 2021–2025. A Leo, Hewson carries one of rock's most deliberately unconventional names—a layered tribute to his father's faith and cultural heroes.

Biography

Elijah Bob Patricius Guggi Q Hewson fronts Inhaler, an Irish rock band that released three albums between 2021 and 2025. Born 17 August 1999 in Dublin, he grew up in Killiney and appeared on the cover of his father Bono's U2 album Songs of Experience in 2017. He formed Inhaler in late 2012 with bassist Robert Keating and drummer Ryan McMahon, both from St Andrew's College, Dublin; guitarist Josh Jenkinson joined as the fourth member. The band released It Won't Always Be Like This (2021), Cuts and Bruises (2023), and Open Wide (2025).

As a Leo born in mid-August, Hewson channels the sign's natural magnetism and creative confidence. Singers record albums, perform live, and shape their band's sonic identity. Ireland-born, Hewson represents a new generation of rock musicians shaped by Dublin's music legacy but unbeholden to it. His full name—which incorporates references to Guggi and Quincy Jones alongside explicit Christian theology—became a point of press scrutiny for his father but stands as a marker of Bono's unconventional approach to naming.
