His score for The Underground Railroad was nominated for the Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Music Composition for a Limited or Anthology Series, Movie or Special in 2021.

His works, as described by Soraya McDonald of Film Comment, “seem to organically straddle accessibility and sophistication in a way that goes beyond the typical programming of a big-city pops orchestra…That might have something to do with the fact that Britell has long had one foot in the world of hip-hop and another in the world of classical music.”

Nicholas Britell is a Steinway Artist and a Creative Associate of the Juilliard School.

In December 2018, it was announced that Britell would be a part of Esa-Pekka Salonen’s newly formed creative collective “brain trust” as Salonen takes the reins as music director of the San Francisco Symphony.
