An incredibly successful entrepreneur and recognized member of society left him with tremendous success financially, yet a remarkable void emotionally. He set out on his search for enlightenment; a continuing pursuit of life’s meaning through meditation and discipline. He sought out master gurus from all over the world and studied Christianity, Judaism, Islam, Buddhism, Sufism, Kabala, and other philosophies. After years of research, Nassiri gained a deeper understanding of what is truly important in the universe.
Rekindling his childhood dream, Nassiri found the best way to express the lessons he learned from his studies was through songwriting and music. Nassiri wrote hundreds of songs and poems, each with an intrinsic message of universal hope and love.

Love, hope and unity are the recurring themes of the songs that resonate with the instruments and rhythms of countless cultures and musical genres. The lyrics for his debut world peace anthem “Love sees no Color” are actually the culmination of all he has learned, narrowed down into a few incredibly powerful words:
“Love sees no color, no race, no religion/We are the same as the rays of the sun/ Love sees no color, no race, no religion/ Only through love can we live as one.” He began Nassiri Music LLC, to promote his idea that “Music is a universal force. If it is positive it can heal society as a whole.”
