Born in Dayton, Ohio to a non-musical family, Linus Lau was trained in composition by Lynn Shurtleff and Henry Mollicone.

His feature film credits include the recent thriller "A Clear Shot," starring Mario Van Peebles, the award-winning, runaway horror smash hit, "Last Girl Standing", the documentary "Love and Politics" narrated by Al Pacino, and the popular indie comedy "Bread and Butter", starring Bobby Moynihan of SNL. His trailer work includes "All the Money in the World," "Arrival," and "Captain Phillips."

In another life, he was a keyboardist and tour-van philosopher. Both of these gigs paid a lot, but he was quite bad at it. After seeing the inside of Schubas, Webster Hall and The Roxy one too many times, he hung up his touring spurs in 2010.

In 2018, his driving and out-of-this-world new EP, “Coda” touched down on iTunes, Spotify, and Apple Music.

While his recent client list includes 20th Century Fox, Valve Entertainment, and Columbia Pictures, his personal favorite score that he's written is for the children's storybook "Wren River Curse," a surreal fantasy tale inspired by The Wizard of Oz, Little Nemo, and Fellini.
