A B O U T

I’m Yin Lu, a London-based music producer, screen composer, orchestrator, multi-instrumentalist, singer-songwriter and free speech advocate.

​

As an award-winning composer, my musical journey began at the age of 10 when I first touched a piano. Growing up in a traditional family in a remote town in Guizhou, PRC, I initially followed the expected path: studying diligently for the Gaokao and earning a bachelor’s degree in literature from Nanjing University in 2013. However, my true passion—composition—called to me, leading me to move to Shanghai to pursue my long-repressed dream. There, through rigorous training and by assisting renowned industry figures like Yupeng Chen and Dong An, I gradually became a well-established composer, working on blockbuster feature-length films, TV series, and video games, as well as arranging songs for A-list Chinese pop stars.

​​

Driven by an ambition to explore the global music industry, which operates in a radically different way from the one isolated by the Great Firewall, I moved to the UK to study at the Royal College of Music. Under the guidance of Enrica Sciandrone and Howard Davidson, I graduated with a master’s degree in Composition for Screen in 2021, earning a first-class distinction.

​

During the initial stages of my relocated career, I received an Honorary Mention at the European Talent Awards and became a member of BAFTA Connect. My screen music garnered praise from Oscar-winning composer Stephen Warbeck, and I received the Arts Council England's endorsement for Global Talent, thanks to the recommendations of Oscar-nominated composer Gary Yershon and the Director of the RCM, Colin Lawson.
