About Jolene
Jolene Khor is an award winning composer and pianist, attracting recognition for her whimsical and aesthetics driven compositions, reminiscent of the style popularised by studio Ghibli in Japan. Indeed, it is her love of music, that inspired her to study Composition, which led to her receiving a Bachelor's Degree in 2021 from Fu Jen Catholic University, Taiwan, and a Master's Degree in Composition for Screen in 2022 from the Royal College of Music in London.
Jolene brings her classical music and jazz training, together with her passion for Japanese and Chinese aesthetics, to create a satisfying blend of East and West, of classical music and popular instrumentation. This passion served her well during her studies when she collaborated with young filmmakers, animators and musicians from the London Film School, Royal College of Arts, Central Saint Martins as well as at the Royal College of Music where she was trained in managing recording sessions. Jolene has also recorded her music at Air Edel, Abbey Road recording studios and the Budapest recording studio.
