jinboz music

Jinbo “Arthur” Zhang is a composer and music producer from Hangzhou, China, currently based in Los Angeles, California. Creating under the artist name JINBOZ, he explores the intersection of orchestral music, pop, EDM, and traditional East Asian sounds through a unique lens shaped by his Eastern aesthetic sensibilities.

Jinbo’s work is defined by a distinctive style often centered around the concept of “coldness”—evoking crisp, delicate, and emotionally resonant sonic textures. Deeply inspired by composers such as Yu-peng Chen, Takashi Yoshimatsu, Joe Hisaishi, and Akira Kosemura, he is a fully self-taught musician who has forged his own creative path through curiosity, experimentation, and a deep sensitivity to sound.

He is currently pursuing a BFA in Composition and Experimental Sound Practices at California Institute of the Arts (CalArts). Beyond his academic work, Jinbo actively collaborates with artists across disciplines, composing for films and video games, interactive sound, installations, and multimedia projects. His music seeks to bridge emotion and form, continually pushing the boundaries of sound in contemporary artistic contexts.

Jinbo Zhang is a member of The Society of Composers & Lyricists (The SCL) and Audio Engineering Society (AES).
