Khaled Al Kammar (born May 14, 1990) is an Egyptian composer noted for his scores for film and TV. He is considered one of the most prominent composers of his generation in Egypt, having won several local and international awards for his work on projects such as Qabeel, Sahib El Maqam, and Netflix's first Egyptian production, the series Paranormal.[1][2]
Khaled showed a significant interest in music from a young age, despite being raised in an academic family with no artistic background. He taught himself the basics of music and studied mechatronics engineering at the German University in Cairo to satisfy his family's wishes. After graduating, he began his career in film scoring, working at Hany Adel's studio from 2012 to 2015. During this period, he composed music for films like Assem and Décor, among others. He also gained experience by assisting leading Egyptian composers such as Hesham Nazih on The Originals[3] and Layali Eugenie,[4] as well as Khaled Hammad on Awalem Khafeya.
