Natalie Ann Holt is an Ivor Novello Award winning British television and film composer. She trained at the Royal Academy of Music and The National Film and Television School and had a career as a classical violist before becoming a film composer. Holt protested about the state of the music industry on the UK's Britain's Got Talent 2013 final by throwing eggs at Simon Cowell, one of the show's judges.[1]

She scored the final series of Wallander and worked with Hans Zimmer on Woman in Gold. She co-scored the BBC productions Great Expectations, which was nominated for a BAFTA award, and The Honourable Woman which won the 2015 Ivor Novello Award for best television soundtrack.[2] She composed a modernist score for the avant-garde Spanish feature film Animals (directed by Marcal Fores) and also composed additional music and orchestration for Heyday Film's hit Paddington.
