Alexander Zhu

Composer | Pianist

Classically trained composer, producer and conductor. His work focuses on themes of identity, place and belonging.

Raised in a cross-cultural household, his music draws inspiration from American 80s films, Asian ambient and experimental music, electronic and minimalist classical music. Equally at home with acoustic and electronic instruments, his scores range in tone from emotional to ambient to action-packed.

Based in Los Angeles, his work can be heard on Netflix, Disney+, Cartoon Network and TF1. He holds a doctorate in music from the University of Southern California, and is Assistant Professor of Musicianship and Concert Management at Occidental College.
