Biography

[edit]

Nassi started writing songs at the age of 11.[1]

Before deciding to "eat chicken nuggets" and start a singing career, he had written songs for other artists, such as Kendji Girac, Claudio Capéo, Soprano[2] and H Magnum.[3]

In January 2017,[4] he released his debut solo single, titled "La vie est belle",[1] which reached number 100 on the French singles chart in April[5] and would eventually be certified Gold by the French national syndicate for music publishing (SNEP).[4]

This was followed by the single "Pas fatigué" in June.[3][6]

In addition to several singles, Nassi has released his album "Arabesque" in 3 volumes.[7]

In 2018, Nassi had a shot at representing France at that year's Eurovision Song Contest with his song "Rêves de gamin",[8] reaching the final of the national preliminaries (televised on France 2 under the title Destination Eurovision).

Nassi's music has been featured in the educational song competition "Manie Musicale" in 2020, 2022, and 2023.[9]

Musical style
