Yuri Kwag is a Seoul-born, LA-based composer who creates music designed not just to be heard, but to be experienced. Her work focuses on supporting the emotional threads of a story with care and empathy, creating music that breathes with a scene and reveals what lies beneath silence and words.

Her palette often features intimate piano and strings, ambient electronic layers, and subtle acoustic colors, creating a sound world that feels both modern and timeless. Drawing on classical orchestration, hybrid electronic design, and hints of Korean traditional influence, Yuri shapes scores that are emotionally grounded yet expansive, designed to turn stories into deeply felt experiences.

Her work spans film, television, theater, and game, including the acclaimed feature Fairy and League of Legends Champions Korea. She also worked closely with composer Rob Simonsen on major studio productions including Elio, Deadpool & Wolverine, and It Ends With Us. She is the recipient of the 2025 ASCAP Foundation Michelle and Dean Kay Award. She was selected as a 2025 cohort member of the VIFF Composer Filmmaker Accelerator.
