Nassif Zeytoun (Arabic: ناصيف زيتون; born 25 September 1988)[1] is a Syrian singer and the 2010 winner of the Arabic reality television show Star Academy. He is best known for his song "Mesh Aam Tezbat Maae", released in 2014. His music videos on YouTube have millions of views. His album Toul Al Yom was released in July 2016 and instantly reached the top of charts in the Arab world.[citation needed] One of the tracks from the album, "Bi Rabbek", had been No. 1 on the music app Anghami.
In 2016, Zeytoun took part in Stars On Board, a televised cruise with celebrity guests from many parts of the Arab world, and has held several concerts in Syria and Lebanon. Zeytoun's love for his country inspired the song "Haweety", in which the singer pays tribute to his country.
