Khosla earned an additional music composition Emmy nomination in 2023 for his score to The Mysterious Benedict Society. The Father and the Assassin, his professional theatre debut, opened at London's National Theater in 2023. Additional credits include Welcome to Chippendales, Rabbit Hole, The Horror of Dolores Roach, Looking for Alaska, Marvel’s Runaways, Your Place Or Mine, I Want You Back and The Sounding. Forged from the creative mind of Khosla and first discovered on KCRW's "Morning Becomes Eclectic," Goldspot's ear-pleasing and catchy sound has been described by LA Times Magazine as "A hint of George Harrison at his transcendental best" , by NPR as "An inventive sound and independent vision." In 2013, his album Aerogramme topped Los Angeles Times Pop Music Editor's year end best albums list, earning the title of "#1 Album of the Year." Khosla's India-born parents came to the US in the mid-seventies to make the American dream their own. Their son was born on these shores, and his parents kept their heritage alive for him though music, playing old Indian movie soundtracks in their home. As a teenager, Khosla embraced Western bands as well: The Smiths, The Cure, The Beatles & Paul Simon. Today, his musical roots inform his scores and songs to convey a sound -- from vintage electric guitars and rare 1950s organs to live orchestras and instruments from the Eastern hemisphere like the harmonium, to the Greek bouzouki, to 80's omnichord synthesizers and Flemish harpsichords - that is engagingly unique. In November 2013, Khosla was invited as the musical guest for First Lady Michelle Obama's Diwali celebration at the White House.
