Description
Have you ever watched an emotional and engaging show and thought, "WOW, this hits me right in the heart"? Next time you watch an episode, listen to its music; the score of a series or film can either make for an incredible viewing experience, or break it completely. Thankfully this week's guest is a master of this very craft.
Our guest is Siddhartha Khosla who – in addition to having a kickass band, Goldspot – is a brilliant TV/film composer currently working on the hit NBC series "This Is Us." He talked to us about how his career in composition began, his parents' reaction to wanting to pursue music in general, his time in Penn Masala (fellow a cappella nerds, rejoice!) and how he creates the beautiful score to what is arguably network TV's best drama series.

Meet Your Co-Hosts!: We are so excited to be kicking off our series with a quick ice-breaker. Before we interview some of your favorite South Asian talents on and offscreen, we wanted to introduce ourselves and why the hell we've decided to tackle this endeavor. TV and Film are so much more integrated in our lives than we realize. The ideas we develop about the world and people, even the way we develop...so much of it comes from what is portrayed on the screen. So why are careers in these industries so frowned upon? Why are they discouraged in our community? This is exactly why we are working with Brown Girl Magazine to bring you this podcast series. We will interview South Asians in Hollywood on and off the screen who are making a name for themselves and the art that influences how we view the world. It’s important to us to use our voices to support our community, highlight the positives of a life in the arts, and dispel the tired, old notions of entertainment and Hollywood. by The Chaat Room
