Who composed the music for The Legend of Korra?

Jeremy Zuckerman composed the music for The Legend of Korra.

Zuckerman had already created the music for Avatar: The Last Airbender with Benjamin Wynn. For Korra, the two continued collaborating, but their responsibilities changed: Zuckerman composed the score while Wynn served as the lead sound designer.

The score was designed to combine traditional Chinese musical influences with early jazz, matching the series’ modernizing cities and its fantasy setting. Its palette includes strings alongside instruments such as the dizi, erhu, guqin, paigu drums, and Mongolian matouqin.

A common mix-up is crediting Benjamin Wynn as co-composer for the entire series because he was Zuckerman’s partner in The Track Team and worked on the show’s sound. The clearest canonical answer to the question is still Jeremy Zuckerman. The soundtrack album, The Legend of Korra: Original Music from Book One, was released in 2013.
