Lei Zhang

Hi, this is Lei Zhang, and I hope you consider hiring me.

I have a deep passion for music writing, audio engineering, and all aspects of creating new film soundtracks and songs. I graduated in film scoring from the Musicians Institute and completed my master's degree at Berklee NYU Power Station in musical theater. I have developed a solid understanding of composition, music theory, and audio engineering. While I mainly use Cubase, I am also familiar with Logic Pro and Pro Tools. I possess strong knowledge of routing, signal flow, outboard gear, mixing, mastering, and more. I have recorded and mixed on SSL 9000, which I am comfortable with, and I'm confident that consoles like Behringer and Allen & Heath are quite similar. After graduation, I worked as a freelance artist, scoring games, short films, and audiobooks, and I also wrote songs for children's musical theater shows. I have always been a quick learner and a strong leader; I independently learned the Avid HD 192 legacy system and taught it to students. Speaking of teaching, I have held positions as a musical theater teacher and a film scoring instructor. I am confident in my abilities and eager to learn more.
