He has had the opportunity to perform works ranging from Bach's Magnificat to Stravinsky's Soldier's Tale.

Najib has had the opportunity to freelance with the Singapore Symphony Orchestra on various occasions, premiering works by composers Bright Sheng and Chen Yi and participating in the recording of Kalnin's Rock Symphony under maestro Shui Lan. He has also performed under notable conductors, such as Frank Battisti, Okko Kamu, Johan de Meij and Ludovic Morlot. In 2005, Najib performed the Kennan Sonata for Trumpet and Wind Ensemble, conducted by Timothy Reynish at the Esplanade Concert Hall in Singapore. In 2006, Najib was a semi-finalist in the Masters division of the National Trumpet Competition held at George Mason University in Fairfax, Virginia. Najib is a strong advocate of Singaporean compositions. He was involved in the premier performances of numerous local compositions, including a recording of Yak Aik Wee's soundtrack for the play, Lonely Planet.
