Acclaimed musician signs global deal with UMPG

Universal Music Publishing Group announced today that it has signed an exclusive global publishing agreement with multi-award-winning composer and producer Yu-Peng Chen.

Under the agreement, UMPG will represent Chen's catalog and future works, supporting the continued expansion of his music across classic, neoclassic, film, games, and interactive media worldwide.

Widely recognized as the musical architect behind the open-world role-playing game Genshin Impact, Chen has built a devoted international following for his richly melodic and stylistically versatile scores. His music has appeared in more than 1 million TikTok posts, generated over 126 million official YouTube views, and amassed more than 1.5 billion audio streams worldwide. In 2025, Chen also became the first Chinese composer to sign an exclusive agreement with Deutsche Grammophon, marking a significant milestone in his classical career.

"I'm excited to begin this new chapter with Universal Music Publishing Group. Throughout my career, I have sought to create music that connects different cultures and artistic worlds — from games and films to the concert stage," says Chen.

"With UMPG's global reach and strong commitment to supporting composers, I look forward to continuing to explore new artistic possibilities and sharing my music with audiences around the world."
