Career

After years of work with theater group PHAMALY[1][2][3][4] and as a part of the SAG-AFTRA national communications committee where he was noted for facilitating SAG eligibility,[5][6][7] Nassuet's debut album Eleutherios was released in 2015 to critical acclaim.[8][9][10] Jetset Magazine described his debut release as "[a] blend of Celtic, blues, rock, folk, grunge and goth" that "explores and transcends his [Nassuet's] musical boundaries with a true sense of freedom."[11] He also saw radio play on a variety of independent stations.[12][13]

Musical style

The Huffington Post,[9][14] has referred to his signature style as "Gothic Folk", a moniker echoed in a June 2015 review by Guardian Liberty Voice.[15] The Global Music Awards gave Nassuet a gold medal for "Alternative Rock Gothic Folk".[16] Review Fix said that Nassuet "put a definable face on the gothic rock genre."[17] Blogcritics compared his style to the Celtic music, Operatic Rock, and Grunge genres.[18] and Big Sky State Buzz said that Eleutherios contained "hints of rock and roll."[19] Nassuet's music has been compared to Jim Morrison,[20] Jeff Buckley,[21] Nick Drake,[20][21][22] Richie Havens,[21] Lindsay Buckingham,[21] and Danny Elfman,[17] Meanwhile, his singing has garnered comparisons to singers like Lindsey Buckingham,[21] Axl Rose,[19][21] and Kate Bush.[23]
