It was during his university studies at the Higher Institute of Music that Nassif polished his talent.

He then mastered it by specializing in oriental singing. His passage and success in "Star Academy" was very remarkable, and let him be noticed by the great Wadih El Safi, who, impressed by his various performances both vocal and instrumental, offered him his own Oud (lute) and several of his compositions.

In October 2011, Nassif represented his country singing with more than 23 other Arab artists for the work "Bokra" (Tomorrow) led by the great Quincy Jones, and produced by Sony Music which all profits will go to Arab children in need.
