Hakeemshady Mohamed's biography is a testament to his remarkable journey, one that began in the midst of war and chaos in Mogadishu, the Somali capital. For three years, he remained largely anonymous, surrounded by thousands of conflict survivors from Rwanda, Uganda, and South Sudan. However, his innate passion for filmmaking eventually compelled him to emerge from the shadows and pursue a career in the United States.
As a young talent on the rise, Hakeemshady has been praised for his humble, hard-working, and passionate nature. His latest film role, "BlueEyes" in Default, showcases his impressive acting skills as a treacherous Somali pirate who holds a news crew for ransom. The film, directed by Simon Brand, features Katherine Moennig and David Oyelowo, who is best known for his role in Lee Daniels' The Butler.
In addition to his work in Default, Hakeemshady has appeared in other feature films, including WebGirl, where he worked as a first assistant director and actor, playing the role of Prince Hakeem. His dedication to filmmaking is rivaled only by his devotion to his family. When he first arrived in the United States, he worked two jobs to send money back to his family, a connection to his humble beginnings that continues to keep him grounded.
