A little bit about Malachi . . .


Malachi Nassér is an American composer, producer, and multi-instrumentalist.

A member of the original cast of Andrew Lloyd Webber's Broadway production of School of Rock the Musical at age ten, he went on to debut at Boston Symphony Hall with the Boston Pops Orchestra by age fifteen and became the Founder and President of Destined Music Media LLC by age nineteen.

A noted humanitarian and philanthropist, Nassér garnered two congressional citations and a Joint Legislative Resolution from the New Jersey Senate and General Assembly and is the recipient of the [2015] NAACP Youth Award.

Recognized by the press and media as a Child Prodigy, he started performing at age five and has shared the stage with a surfeit number of artists, including Emmy, Grammy, and Tony award winner Lin-Manuel Miranda, Two-time Tony Award winner Brian Stokes Mitchell, Legendary Drummer/Composer Billy Cobham, Five-Time- Grammy award winner Victor Wooton, performers from the New York Philharmonics, performers from the New York Metropolitan Opera, and more.

Coming off the release of his [2023] debut, E.P. J.O.Y., as a precursor and harbinger to his [2025] album S.M.I.L.E., Nassér, for the first time, allowed the public a glimpse through the kaleidoscope of color that is his life.

Rooted in Soulful R&B with the bravado and influence of Rock, J.O.Y. & S.M.I.L.E. are often described as a tapestry of pain, laughter, and reflection manifested in a culmination of the artist’s life experiences, where Nassér takes his audience on a lyrical journey fueled by the emotional compromise of years gone by. This young artist, who is as complex as the lyrics and music he writes, is an amalgam of life, ingrained in his West Indien and Afrocuban heritage.

Chosen as one of "The Twelve Most Talented & Tiny Child Prodigies of 2013" by The Huffington Post, Nassér has been presented as an example of creative and musical genius on MSNBC's Rachel Madow Show and has been featured in Vanity Fair magazine alongside Composer/Producer Andrew Lloyd Webber.

Malachi Nassér has been the subject of two documentaries, "Totally Alive"[2010], The episode "Enfants Prodiges" in the docu-series Gifted Kids [2019]
