​Logan Nelson

Logan Nelson scores compositions that evoke thrilling textures unique to each project. He was named the Best Young International Composer at the World Soundtrack Awards in Ghent, Belgium, attending the festival with Oscar-winning director Barry Jenkins, who called him a “must-watch composer.” He's most known for his score for the Emmy-winning Apple TV+ drama, The Morning Show, which he composed in collaboration with Carter Burwell.

At the Cannes Film Festival 2024, Logan premiered his score for Nanette Burstein’s film, Elizabeth Taylor: The Lost Tapes (HBO).

His music spans a variety of soundscapes; from the airy Norwegian brass in Chef’s Table (Netflix) to the eerie tape loops in Mastermind: To Think Like a Killer (Hulu), and the quirky toy percussion in The Stanford Prison Experiment (Nat Geo).

Logan’s score for Showtime’s Nothing Lasts Forever, directed by Sundance-winning director Jason Kohn, was highly praised, with Indie Wire noting “the jaunty orchestral compositions wouldn’t feel out of place in a Bond film, or the opening credits of the next House of Cards." In narrative film, he scored Straight Up (Netflix) starring Randall Park and Katie Findlay, and the horror film Family (Fifth Season), utilizing the GRAMMY-winning Attacca String Quartet for experimental textures.

A collaborator of Kris Bowers, Logan wrote music for Netflix’s critically acclaimed Dear White People, as well as the Oscar-winning film, Green Book. Additionally, Logan has worked at Hans Zimmer’s Remote Control Productions.

Logan resides in Los Angeles, California.
