Emmy-winning composer Siddhartha Khosla was elected to the Television Academy’s board of governors, representing the music branch. Khosla will serve a two-year term beginning Jan. 1, 2025.

Khosla has received seven Primetime Emmy nominations for his work on two hit series – NBC’s This Is Us andHulu’s Only Murders in the Building. He won his first Emmy – outstanding music composition for a series (original dramatic score) – in September for the latter show.

Khosla’s other credits include FOX comedy Grandfathered, Lionsgate/E!’s The Royals and Hulu’s Runaways, and feature films Fat Camp and Liv. He also composed original songs for the musical film Basmati Blues and ABC series The Neighbors. Khosla is also known for founding the New York-based band Goldspot, which released three albums from 2008-13.
