Born in China, Yurun has had a long music journey. He started playing the piano when he was 4 and later on picked up a guitar and drums. He was lucky to lead his rock band to perform original songs in his city. Since he moved to US in 2010, he quickly solidified his conviction to make music as his career. During the 4 years study of film composition and music production in San Francisco, the city that's in heat of contemporary art, he have acquired the knowledge and enthusiasm to create complex and sometimes eclectic film scores. His compositions span the gamut, stylistically. He later graduated from the highly ranked Master of Music program in Screen Scoring from University of Southern California, where he was selected to receive The Harry Warren Endowed Scholarship.
