"The annual Elliot Norton Awards out of the US are widely recognized around the world and were set up in 1983 to honor the best and biggest achievements in the thriving Boston theatre scene. Rashed Alnuaimi is up in the Outstanding Musical Performance by an Actor category for his debut role as the notorious Bill Sykes in the popular production Oliver, which ran at Boston’s New Repertory Theatre."

"There’s nothing small about Rashed Alnuaimi, either in stature or in stage presence. An MFA student at the Boston Conservatory at Berklee, Alnuaimi seizes the role of the brutal, combustible Bill Sikes from the instant he materializes in “Oliver!’’ His transfixing portrayal constantly makes us aware of how short Sikes’s fuse is — and how rapidly that fuse is burning."

"The ‘2023 Asia Song Festival’ was held at the Floating Stage at Yeouido Hangang Park, Seoul and nine artists from seven Asian countries appeared, creating a cultural exchange of Asian pop music...

"As part of the Sharjah Entrepreneurship Festival 2022, Big Hass chats with Rashed Alnuaimi about his performance and participation at the Festival."

"Another musical highlight of Sharjah Entrepreneurship Festival 2022... will be... the aspiring Emirati singer, Rashed Alnuaimi, who started his career as an opera singer and then made his way to the theatre was nominated for an Elliot Norton Award in the Outstanding Musical Performance by an Actor category for his role as Bill Sykes in the world renown production Oliver."

"In celebration of the UAE’s 50th anniversary, Emirati talents took a walk from the “past to the future” with Level Shoes in collaboration with Vogue Arabia... The lens joins... Rashed Alnuaimi... in a fun storyline."

"Following the introduction of the dignitaries, led by His Highness Sheikh Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum, UAE Vice-President and Prime Minister and Ruler of Dubai, ... Emirati singer, songwriter and actor Rashed Alnuaimi walked on stage to deliver a moving rendition of the UAE national anthem as Dubai Police personnel raised the UAE flag."

"Emirati singer, songwriter and actor Rashed Alnuaimi kicked off the show with a rendition of the UAE National Anthem to welcome the world.

قدم الفنان الإماراتي راشد النعيمي، النشيد الوطني الإماراتي على مسرح حفل أسبوع أبوظبي للاستدامة الذي أقيم اليوم الإثنين للإعلان عن انطلاق القمة العالمية لطاقة المستقبل، بحضور ولي عهد أبوظبي نائب القائد الأعلى للقوات المسلحة الشيخ محمد بن زايد آل نهيان، والرئيس الموريتاني محمد ولد عبدالعزيز، وولي عهد المملكة الأردنية الهاشمية الأمير الحسين بن عبدالله الثاني.

"When people find out that Rashed Alnuaimi sings opera, pop and jazz, the reaction is often varied, but when they hear the Emirati sing, any reservations are shattered. Alnuaimi has loved music for as long as he can remember, and while he’s now being recognised for his talent, he didn’t think much of it when he younger, until his family started paying attention and praising him for it."

“It started with resistance from some and support from others,” Rashed Alnuaimi said. “A singer and dancer, in the Arabic language, has somewhat of a negative connotation to them but now I’m in a space where when I got the acceptance… They all got ecstatic and I never thought that would happen.”

"Hussain Al Jassmi better watch his back because there is a new mega talent in town! Rashed Alnuaimi, 24, is the first male Emirati opera singer and he already has solo performances under his belt including a stint at the Abu Dhabi National Theatre. Alnuaimi (who also sings jazz and pop) shares his latest performances on his YouTube channel when he’s not busy doing his military service and serving his country. If that’s not “role model” material we don’t know what is! "

"Big Hass interviews Rashed Alnuaimi... I am always trying to give a voice to artists and I pride myself that I been doing this since 2008. Its simply a liberating feeling for me when I reach out to artists who are not getting enough "exposure" to feature on my blog just as a sign of solidarity and support. Today's guest is Emirati singer, Rashed Alnuaimi, whom I first stumbled on via his instagram account."

"Emirati talent is increasingly coming in all shapes and sizes... I was still taken aback when YouTube introduced me to an Emirati jazz singer covering Frank Sinatra's timeless version of Fly Me to the Moon. Not only did the young Rashed Alnuaimi do the jazz classic justice with his mature voice, he showed us his humorous side by singing it as a duet, with himself."

"Rashed Alnuaimi's film 'Hessa' already screened in the Short Film Corner at Cannes Film Festival this year. The film is a tribute to Alnuaimi’s grandmother and her generation of Emiratis. “The story is about learning from history,” he explains. “Youth today have a tendency to forget the accomplishments of the older generations.”"
