After Nez Khammal completed his education, he started as a runner at Pagan Productions in London in 2005. At Pagan he was able to gain insight into the work of directors such as Rankin and Vaughan Arnell. Following this, the young creative accompanied Vaughn Arnell to Blink Productions and was given the opportunity to assist him personally.
Nez was signed as a director in his own right a year down the line. He was offered a place at Colonel Blimp after his debut video for the artist/rapper M.I.A. His follow up video for Kano's 'Hustler' was awarded the 2008 Best Urban Music Video prize at the Music Video Awards in London.
