Fez – Guezoum’s score for the series “The Deep State” has been submitted in the Best Score Soundtrack for Visual Media category, a major recognition in the field of top film and TV composers. For a Moroccan artist, this kind of spotlight is still rare and speaks to years of steady work.
Guezoum has built his career in Hollywood with a focus on emotionally clear, screen-first music. In 2024, his work earned two Hollywood Music in Media Awards nominations, one for “The Deep State” and another for “The Promise.” Those nods helped introduce his sound to a wider audience and added momentum to his Grammy push this season.
Before this moment, the composer stacked up a mix of international credits. His work touches well known titles such as “Power Rangers,” the Jean Claude Van Damme film “Full Love,” and a musical series produced for Netflix Middle East. Across projects, Guezoum blends strong themes with modern production, keeping the music cinematic but direct.
Colleagues describe him as precise in writing and collaborative in process. Directors look for scores that carry emotion without crowding the story. That balance shows up in “The Deep State,” where tension and melody sit side by side, and cues move cleanly from quiet to high stakes.
For many young Moroccan musicians, Guezoum’s rise offers a clear lesson: A strong craft can travel. Training, patience, and consistent delivery can turn local roots into global work. Guezoum often highlights his connection to Morocco while operating in the heart of the Los Angeles industry.
The Grammys process is competitive from start to finish—even getting into the conversation is a statement. Whether or not “The Deep State” makes the final ballot, Youssef Guezoum has placed a Moroccan name in a category watched around the world. It is a proud milestone and a sign of how far his music has come.
