Hesham kicked his drumming talent off at the age of 16 when he started with a heavy metal band. He decided to take his passion for drumming to a higher level and learn about its basics from Egypt’s pioneers like Mohamed Saad Basha from the Cairo Orchestra, then with Amr Youssef who showed him the Latin side of it.

In 2004, Hesham joined Sahra – recommended to the band by his mentor and Sahra’s former drummer Amr Youssef. 
Hesham then joined Eftekasat in 2006, The Percussion Show by end of 2007, and 19th band by end of 2008.
