Born and raised in China, Yefan Zhang is a composer who writes music for Film, TV, Games, and Commercials. She plays the piano, guitar, clarinet, and some traditional folk Chinese instruments, such as the Taodi, Hulusi, and Bawu.

Yefan recently made a significant impact as an additional composer for the Italian film "Buio Come il Cuore," premiering at this year's Rome International Film Festival. Her talents also shine through in films like "Far Above the Starry Sky," a finalist at the Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers Film Festival in China. She also scored for the short film "Human in the Box," screened at the Distinguished Xu Liaoyuan Museum of Modern Art, the first private museum of art and design in China. Yefan’s notable music composition credits include the short films “Diana”, “For Ellie”, “The Move”, “Holding On”, and “Dead Loop”, among others. She has also contributed her musical expertise for branding commercials, including Infinix Mobile and Wuling Motors. Additionally, she served as a composer assistant for the series "My Journey to You" (云之羽) and the feature film "Mermaid in the Fog" (人鱼之海牢物怪), as well as a music editor for the film "Tale of the Mural" (聊斋之画壁). All of these projects were released on iQIYI, one of China's largest streaming platforms.

To gain further experience in the film music industry, Yefan worked as a coordinator at White Bear Public Relations, a top PR firm specializing in PR and Event Promotion and management for film, TV, and interactive entertainment. During that time, she contributed to several successful awards campaigns, including Volker Bertelmann’s Oscar-winning “All Quiet on the Western Front,” Son Lux’s multiple-Oscar-winning “Everything Everywhere All at Once,” and Stephanie Economou’s Grammy-winning “Assassin’s Creed: Dawn of Ragnarök,” the first-ever winner in the new category.

Yefan received her Master's degree in Music Composition for the Screen at Columbia College Chicago, where she had the opportunity to collaborate with students on their short films. In May 2022, she moved to LA to further pursue her passion for media scoring.



Moreover, as co-founder of Shanghai XuanBenYongZhen Music Culture Co Ltd., Yefan has organized concerts in over 20 cities, participated in classical music education, filmed live streams, and conducted several artist interviews. She continues to work remotely on company projects from the US.
