Emmy-nominated composer Sherri Chung has been recognized internationally as a trailblazer in the world of film and television scoring. Her music transcends genre and fuses inspirations—both traditional and emerging—in support of filmmakers' visions worldwide.

Sherri recently composed the score for HBO Max/Amblin's animated series Gremlins: The Wild Batch. Previously, she scored Season 1– Gremlins: Secrets of the Mogwai, for which she was nominated for an Emmy for Best Music Direction And Composition for An Animated Program.

Frequently recognized for her other television credits, including CW network series Kung Fu, Batwoman, and Riverdale, NBC's Blindspot, and Ava DuVernay's limited series The Red Line, she has also scored numerous feature films, documentaries, and commercials.

Recent film credits include Warner Bros Studio's Nancy Drew and the Hidden Staircase, Tyler Perry's Divorce In The Black, and The Lost Husband, the latter of which garnered her a Society of Composers and Lyricists nomination for Best Score for an Independent Studio Film. She also composed the score for The Other Side of Home, which was shortlisted in the 2017 Oscars for Best Short Documentary. Her outstanding work has not gone unnoticed, as Sherri was a 2024 nominee for the IFMCA Breakthrough Composer of the Year.

Alongside her composing work, Sherri is also a pianist, vocalist, performer and songwriter. As a vocalist, she has recorded for films (Sony Pictures' "65" and the recent A24 film "Heretic"), commercials, trailer music, and television (ABC's Resurrection, CW's Arrow and NBC's Blindspot).
