He is the latest of Bono's children to step out into the spotlight, after the rocker's daughter Eve found fame as an actress.
Taking to Instagram to gush about her brother's success, the 27-year-old wrote: 'So proud of my brother and his mates for releasing their first single today. IT WON’T ALWAYS BE LIKE THIS and OKLAHOMA are streaming now.'
Even then plugged: 'Check out INHALER on Spotify. You won’t regret it.'

Inhaler is formed of Eli, Josh Jenkinson on lead guitar, Robert Keating on bass, Ryan McMahon on drums, and the quartet have been together since late 2012.
Speaking about the band and the support Bono gives to the up-and-coming group, Eli told Extra.ie in November last year: 'My dad's good when I want to see if a song is s***e or not – he will tell me straight away.'
While Robert said of his bandmate: 'It was never a case that Eli was this big personality who rode the fact of who he was. I just thought I'll do music with him because he's a cool guy.'
'His old man does help us a bit but he will definitely point out the hardships that we might have to go through more than the positive things.'
Eli also added that if the band didn't 'have something to show' for their hard work in the music business, then they would be going to college at the end of the year.
Alongside Eli and Eve, Bono - real name Paul Hewson - also shares daughter Jordan, 29, and son John, 17, with his wife of 36 years.
