Hollywood Records announces the release of Marvel Animation’s Eyes of Wakanda Original Soundtrack with music by EMMY®-nominated composer Hesham Nazih (Marvel Studios’ “Moon Knight”). The digital soundtrack is available on Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon Music, YouTube Music and other digital platforms. Continuing his collaboration with Marvel Studios, Hesham Nazih’s score blends instruments and vocal textures from a range of global traditions, including flutes, strings, deep percussion, and experimental vocals, many used for the first time in his work. Each of the four episodes features a distinct musical identity, building toward an epic final chapter. For Eyes of Wakanda, Hesham delivers a dynamic and immersive score that blends instruments and vocal textures from a wide range of global traditions, including flutes, strings, deep percussion, and experimental vocals, many of which he incorporates into his work for the first time.
Commenting on the score, Hesham Nazih notes, “It was a journey of many firsts, my first time writing music for animation, and my first time exploring African, Greek, and Asian musical traditions. Almost everything was new to me… and that’s where the magic truly lived. Eyes of Wakanda gave me the chance to explore musical landscapes I never imagined I’d step into. I’m beyond excited for fans to finally hear this music, every note carries the wonder, challenge, and joy of discovery.”

About Hesham Nazih
Hesham Nazih is an Emmy-nominated and award-winning Egyptian composer best known for his unique style, interweaving melodies from different cultures to create an authentic genre all his own. He marked his first major English-language project with his Emmy-nominated score for Marvel Studios’ Moon Knight on Disney+, a superhero story rooted in ancient Egyptian deities and mythology, for which he was invited to become a member of The Television Academy. Nazih’s most recent project is scoring Marvel Television’s upcoming animated series Eyes of Wakanda.
Nazih has scored over 40 award-winning films that have dominated the Egyptian box office, including Marwan Hamed’s Blue Elephant films and Tarek Alarian’s Sons of Rizk series, whose sequels became the highest and second-highest-grossing films in Egyptian cinema history. His breakthrough score for Snakes and Ladders in 2001 was so popular it led to a best-selling soundtrack album, while his score for Ibrahim Labyad merged modern folk rhythms with waltz to depict the epic’s raw romance.
Nazih has worked with many of Egypt’s leading directors, including Mohamed Yassin, Hadi El Bagouri, Khaled Marei, Radwan El-Kashef, Sandra Nashaat, Hani Khalifa, and Kamla Abu Zekri. His television work includes The Seven Commandments, where he introduced Sufi rhythms with spatial echoes, and Shahid’s Every Week Has a Friday, which earned Egypt its first-ever International Emmy nomination.
Internationally, he gained acclaim for composing original music and songs for the globally watched Pharaohs’ Golden Parade in 2021, during which 22 royal mummies were transferred to their new home in a historic procession. Nazih is the first and only composer to receive the honorary Faten Hamama Excellence Award from the Cairo International Film Festival, where he also appeared in conversation with two-time Academy Award winner A.R. Rahman during Cairo Industry Days. He has recorded scores at premier studios including Abbey Road Studios, Smecky Music Studios, and Synchron Stage Vienna.
