Nesma is the winner of the Star Academy Arab World, the 8th season. She
is the second Egyptian to win in the show, after Mohamed Atieh, the
second female contestant to win, after Shada Hassoun, and the second
candidate to win in the Arab show by singing mostly the western genre,
after Nader Guirat.
Nesma was never a nominee. In the reality-TV part of the season, the
production maintained for her a low profile. Not only that her acting
ability is modest and she could not take part in the scenes that come
along in this type of show, but, also, the production took care to make
her character come across as positive. Before participating in Star
Academy Nesma born September 26, 1989 was studying Journalism, Mass
Communication, Theater, and Music at the American University in Cairo.
Her mother taught her music and reading notes. She has her own band
named Origin.
