Nasser takes flight with new original single, PASAYO

Singer-composer Nasser returns with a heartfelt original single, “Pasayo”, under Curve Entertainment. Known for his soulful covers and viral hits, Nasser takes a bold step forward in his career, reaffirming that he is not just a balladeer but a genuine songwriter with something deeply personal to say.

Fresh from attending TikTok’s Community Fest in Vietnam, where he received an award for ranking Number 1 in one of the regional categories, joining top creators from across Southeast Asia, Nasser carries the same energy and passion into this new release.

The title “Pasayo” is derived from “papunta sayo” or “towards you,” and captures the song’s central message: an unwavering willingness to cross any distance for someone you love, whether in joy, pain, or uncertainty.

 “It’s about commitment and presence,” Nasser shares.

“Living in Singapore as an OFW, I know the feeling of wanting to fly towards someone you care about, be it family, friends, or a partner, just to be there when it matters.”

Musically, “Pasayo” blends tenderness and soaring optimism. The track carries a “malambing” yet uplifting tone.

Nasser recorded the track with producer Marlon Silva, who pushed him beyond his comfort zone to deliver a vocal performance that feels elevated and liberating.

Nasser’s musical path is as unique as his sound. A BS Pharmacy graduate from the University of Santo Tomas, he initially set aside the idea of pursuing music professionally. But as the resident balladeer of the UST Faculty of Pharmacy, he discovered the power of his evolving baritone voice, eventually earning a scholarship. Signed to Curve Entertainment, he released Right Time in 2021, an album featuring his most popular covers and his original composition Tamang Panahon. His rendition of Jim Brickman’s Your Love remains his biggest hit to date.

Balancing life as an OFW in Singapore and as a recording artist has not been easy, but Nasser’s passion for music continues to drive him. “I’m enjoying my life here, but there’s a ‘call’ that never goes away,” he says. “I’m not closing the possibility of going full-time into music.” For Nasser, “Pasayo” transcends romantic love. “It’s a universal promise,” he explains. 

“Pasayo” hit all major streaming platforms worldwide on August 15.
