Ruge Chang is a composer for film, animation, and games. Her music has been featured at the Beijing International Film Festival, the Animegaron festival at Megaron Athens Concert Hall, the Ischia Global Film & Music Festival, and the TapTap Annual Best Game Awards.

She studied at the Zhejiang Conservatory of Music under Dr. Xinyu Wang. She later moved to San Francisco and earned a master’s degree in media composition from the San Francisco Conservatory of Music studying with Professor Lennie Moore. During that time, she wrote for live orchestras, worked on game audio, and became more hands-on with sound and storytelling.

Since graduating, Ruge has collaborated with directors from mainland China, Hong Kong, the United States, and the United Kingdom, working full-time in media composition and audio post-production. Her scores are often described as emotional and cinematic, blending orchestral writing with East Asian and Central Asian colors.
