Emmy-Nominated Composer SIDDHARTHA KHOSLA on "This is Us" and "Only Murders in the Building"

My Job is to Play (Conversations on Creativity with Erin Mallon)

I am so excited for today's episode. If you've ever talked with me about TV, you know my absolute favorite show of all time is This is Us. It's one of those shows that's so deep in my bones I have to hold myself back from referencing it on a daily basis to my friends and family. Well today I got to take a deep dive and talk about it as much as I want, because Siddhartha Khosla, This is Us' amazing composer is on the show. Siddhartha Khosla is a 6 time Emmy-nominated film and television composer, singer/songwriter, and producer of the critically acclaimed band, Goldspot. His 3 Primetime Emmy nominations in 2022 were for "Outstanding Music Composition for a Series" and "Outstanding Main Title Theme" for "Only Murders in the Building," and "Outstanding Original Music and Lyrics" for his original song and #1 iTunes single "Forever Now" (which he co-wrote with Dawes' Taylor Goldsmith). I was so thrilled he joined me for this conversation and let me pelt him with questions about my favorite show and how he creates his particular brand of musical magic.
