Jon Ehrlich is a three-time Emmy-nominated TV and film composer with a prolific list of scoring credits. His primetime Emmy nominations in the Music Composition for a Series category came in recognition for his work on House, M.D., starring Hugh Laurie, The Agency, starring Beau Bridges, and Roar, starring Heath Ledger.^[1] His score for Ask Me Anything, starring Martin Sheen, won Best Music in a Feature Film at the Nashville Film Festival.

Ehrlich’s recent collaboration with Rachel Portman on Hulu’s critically acclaimed limited series, We Were the Lucky Ones, from director Tommy Kail and writer Erica Lipez, starring Logan Lerman and Joey King, has been singled out in reviews. IndieWire included it in their list of The Best TV Scores of 2024, praising the score for being "a quiet, insistent source of strength and emotional catharsis that the characters cannot allow themselves to show but that we get to feel. Portman and Ehrlich’s work transitions from being as wistful and painful as memories to being as relentless as whatever inner fortitude helps the characters survive — and back again. The result is a musical experience that matches the poignancy of the series".^[2]
