Ahmed Azmy started his career at a very early age. His career path began at the age of 11, when he used to write poems and send them to a children's radio show.

His poems and letters were so moving, that they grabbed the attention of Mohamed Hamdy, the president of radio broadcasting at the time. Hamdy introduced him to Abla Fadila, who personally invited him to be a regular on her famous children's radio show. From children's radio, he was introduced to the actress Inaam elKretili, who helped launch his career in television.
