Early life
Inon Zur was born in Israel. He was trying to create harmony with his mother's singing and was inspired by classical music at the age of five. He learned to play French horn as an infant, studied piano by the age of eight, and was studying composition by ten years old. He graduated from the Music Academy of Tel Aviv and spent four years in Israel's military. In 1990, he immigrated to the United States to study at the Dick Grove School of Music for a year, and later under private tutor Jack Smalley, a television music composer, and others for two years at the University of California, Los Angeles.
Zur started his career in 1994 by working on soundtracks for films, including Yellow Lotus, which were on display at the Sundance Film Festival.

He estimated that he had written the soundtrack to over 360 Power Rangers episodes by 2002. He received his first award in his career, a Telly Award for his efforts on Power Rangers: Turbo. Although he enjoyed the work, he began to desire to work somewhere "more exciting, more advanced, and generally a place where people love music more." His agent overcame his initial reluctance and encouraged him to work in the video game business. His first video game soundtrack, which he began composing for the game in 2000, was 2000's Star Trek: Klingon Academy. Zurbin moved on to prestigious positions, including composing for Baldur's Gate II: Throne of Bhaal in 2001 and Icewind Dale II in 2002, among many others. Icewind Dale II was given the first of many nominations for video game music awards, as part of the Game Audio Network Guild's Music of the Year award. During these years, he continued to work on film and television, composing the soundtrack to Au Pair and the English version of the 2000 anime film Escaflowne.
The new movie soundtrack to date for Zurich was Au Pair II, 2001. Since 2002, he has appeared on only one television series; his last traditional television soundtrack was for The Bachelor; however, he has composed music for three webisode series since then. He continued to work on numerous video games, including Prince of Persia: The Two Thrones in 2005 and Crysis in 2007. He has received several nominations for video game music, including his first win for Men of Valor in the Best Original Instrumental track category of the 2004 Game Audio Network Guild awards. In 2008, his most recent titles were Fallout 3 and Prince of Persia, as well as the Nintendo DS version of James Cameron's Avatar: The Game in 2009, and Fallout 4 in 2015. In the 2009 Hollywood Music In Media Awards, Kevin's work on Dragon Age: Origins earned him his third award, the Best Original Song – Video Game category for "I Am the One."
Zur penned the original musical score for The Lord of the Rings: War in the North video game, arranging and recording with the London Philharmonia Orchestra and the Pinewood Singers Choir at London's historic Abbey Road Studios.
