Mestarihi began performing live at the age of 17. He had minor international exposure two years later when he was featured on a
Danmarks Radio documentary in 2006 which was broadcast in
Denmark and
Scandinavia. Naser began his solo career in 2007, performing a handful of shows in the
United Arab Emirates as a solo artist and a session musician. Some of his first notable shows included performing at the
United States Military Base Camp As Siliyah in his hometown of Doha, where he performed on the 4 and 5 July to mark the U.S.
Independence Day celebrations with other local bands. He also made his radio debut around this time on Qatar's QBS Radio. This was followed by the launch of his first solo single "Salvation" in September 2009 on the station. Mestarihi composes all his music and lyrics (including drums) and is known for his meticulous recording approach recording every instrument's track on his record with the exception of the drums. Naser released his second album
1987 on 17 June 2013 worldwide and 2 August regionally. He followed the release with his second full-length album “Praed Street” featuring drummer
Cobus Potgieter in March 2016. He achieved a moment with his band Winterburn by performing as the opening act for the
Guns N’ Roses concert in
Bahrain in May 2025. The band also performed in Saudi Arabia and Abu Dhabi as part of their series of shows in the Gulf region. == Influences ==
