Brian H. Kim is a composer, multi-instrumentalist, and song producer based in Los Angeles, CA. His wildly eclectic background has led to a compositional style that fuses and bends genre, bridging the gap between the sweep of classic film scores and the impact of global pop.
Brian’s unique approach has led to an incredibly diverse slate of projects. For his latest project Jentry Chau vs. the Underworld, starring and executive produced by Ali Wong, Brian wrote and served as Executive Music Producer for a soundtrack of twelve original songs, performed by international artists such as KATSEYE, Jessi, eaJ, Yaeji, and more, in addition to composing the show’s blistering electronic horror score. His work on Jentry Chau earned Kim a 2025 Annie Nomination for Best Music for TV/Media.
Brian’s score to the Netflix YA hit My Life with the Walter Boys melds lo-fi pop with modern folk music. The show was a worldwide sensation, reaching the #1 position in 67 countries, and the top 10 in 88 countries.
Scoring the acclaimed film Spoiler Alert from Focus Features starring Jim Parsons, Ben Aldridge, and Sally Field, reunited Brian with frequent collaborator Michael Showalter to tell the intimate story of journalist Michael Ausiello and his late husband, Kit. Brian’s score to the visceral Amazon drama Panic, starring Olivia Welch and Mike Faist, is an evolution of the electronic work you can hear on his scores to Disney animation’s Emmy-winning Star vs. the Forces of Evil, created by Daron Nefcy and starring Eden Sher, and HBO Max’s Search Party, produced by Michael Showalter and starring Alia Shawkat. His unique orchestrations can be heard on his scores to the films Hello, My Name Is Doris, also directed by Michael Showalter and starring Sally Field, and G.B.F., directed by Darren Stein.
Brian also scored FX’s anthology series American Horror Stories, from Ryan Murphy and Brad Falchuk; Fox series BH90210, the reboot of the beloved 90s cultural phenomenon; and Abby’s, the Natalie Morales-led comedy from celebrated producer Mike Schur. Brian provided the score for the documentary Requiem for a Running Back, which brings to light startling revelations about chronic head injuries in the NFL, and the indie biopic Adam, starring Aaron Paul and Jeff Daniels.
As a song producer and music director, Brian helped create and direct many memorable musical numbers for the hit show How I Met Your Mother, including the show’s Emmy-nominated 100th episode.
As a multi-instrumentalist and singer, Brian has recorded with artists such as Adele, Lin-Manuel Miranda, Patrick Stump, rei brown, Alice Longyu Gao, thúy, and Boyz II Men, and has performed in more than two dozen countries around the world.
