Biography

Heather Kim is a pianist, cellist, orchestrator, and composer from Anchorage, Alaska who specializes in writing music for films, games, TV, and other forms of media, along with solo piano and orchestral/electronic (ambient) music. Her works consist of language influenced by the Neo-Classical, Classical, Impressionistic, Contemporary, Jazz, and Cinematic genres, and she is highly inspired by composers such as Joe Hisaishi, Austin Wintory, Gareth Coker, Alexandre Desplat, Hayato Sumino, Chopin, and Ravel.

Heather has studied the piano and cello for over ten years, both classically trained, and has pursued her dual degree in Film Scoring and Video Game Scoring at the Berklee College of Music. Her most recent achievement having been selected to record her original composition, Sonderlust, at the Power Station Recording Studio in New York for Berklee’s 2024 Crossroads Collaboration, Heather constantly strives to broaden her musical vocabulary and incorporate new techniques and styles into her music.

"I am a passionate musician who hopes to find opportunities to expand on my creativity and shape my artistic values and personal growth as a musician. I am always eager to experiment and familiarize myself with musical genres that are outside of my comfort zone. My goal is to tell stories through my music and pull my listeners into a wide range of auditory worlds, and also be able to work with other artists, because there is nothing more beautiful than learning from one another.”
