Hangrui Zhang is a Chinese composer who is true to his artistic personality and dedicated to creating a unique voice in his music. His compositions often draw inspiration from non-musical elements, such as pop culture, visual arts, and the environment.

Hangrui began his formal music training in the United States. He earned a Master of Music degree in composition from The Peabody Institute of The Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, USA. In 2020, he obtained an Artist Diploma in composition from the Royal College of Music in London, UK.

Hangrui's music has received recognition in competitions such as the American Prize, the ASCAP Morton Gould Young Composer Awards, the Minnesota Orchestra Composer Institute, the iSING! Composition Competition, and the Donald Sinta Quartet National Composition Competition. His compositions have been performed in Europe, the US, and China by various professional chamber ensembles and orchestras, including the Donald Sinta Quartet, Eastman BroadBand Ensemble, Talujon Percussion Ensemble, Yarn/Wire, Symphony Number One, members of the Neue Vocalsolisten Stuttgart, and the Kunming Nie'er Symphony Orchestra.

Currently, Hangrui is pursuing his Doctor of Music degree in composition at the Royal College of Music under the supervision of Kenneth Hesketh. He holds an RCM Studentship. His current research project explores the cross-genre and cross-disciplinary influences from Japanese pop music and Western modern paintings, both of which he has enjoyed for many years.
