The eldest of five siblings—brothers Aman, Ayham, and Anas, and sister Reem—Assala grew up in a Sunni Muslim household, her ethnicity proudly Syrian.

Her childhood was filled with song, as she performed patriotic, religious, and children’s tunes at the age of four, including the theme for the cartoon Hekayat Alamiyah (“Qessas Al Sho’oub”).

Details about Assala Nasri’s formal education are limited. Growing up in Damascus, she likely attended local schools; however, her early start in music at the age of four and family responsibilities after her father’s death at 15 shifted her focus. She trained musically under her father’s guidance, learning to sing in the classical Arabic tarab style.

Her 2007 album Sawaha Galbi topped Syrian charts for four weeks, cementing her fame. She’s blended Arabic pop, Khaliji, and traditional styles, earning acclaim across the Middle East.

Assala hosted the TV show Soula, which boosted her popularity, and performed the 2019 Special Olympics anthem, “Right Where I’m Supposed to Be,” alongside artists like Ryan Tedder.

Her 2011 song “Ah law hal korsy Bye7ki,” composed for the Syrian revolution, demonstrated her heartfelt concern for her people.
