For nearly 30 years, his music has made its way to every young Egyptian's ringtone - but it's the country's ancient history that recently propelled composer Hesham Nazih to the realm of superheroes.

Following his career-defining score for the Pharaohs' Golden Parade last year - a grandiose spectacle that saw 22 mummies transferred across Cairo to a new museum - Nazih was tapped to write the music for Marvel Studios' latest series, Moon Knight.
