    Waller-Bridge received her bachelor's degree in music from Edinburgh University and a master's degree from King's College London. She was also awarded a scholarship from the Royal Academy of Music, where she received another diploma.[3]

    Waller-Bridge composed the soundtrack for the BBC comedy-drama series Fleabag (2016–2019), which was written by and starred her sister, Phoebe Waller-Bridge.[4] She also wrote the score for the feature films Vita and Virginia (2018) and Emma (2020).[5][6] In 2021, she scored Netflix's Munich: The Edge of War,[7] which was released by Milan Records/Sony Music, and The Phantom of the Open.[8]

    Waller-Bridge is also a performer, playing in venues such as the St James Theatre and Union Chapel. In 2016, her music appeared on albums with the Icelandic composers Ólafur Arnalds and Jóhann Jóhannsson.[3] In 2021, she was commissioned by the Philharmonia Orchestra to write music for their Human/Nature series. Her piece, Temperatures, was premiered in November 2021, conducted by Pekka Kuusisto at the Royal Festival Hall.[9] In 2020, she was commissioned by Sarah Burton to score Alexander McQueen’s Spring/Summer 2020 collection at Paris Fashion Week.[10] In 2021, she collaborated with ballet dancer and actress Francesca Hayward to score her dance film, Siren.[11]

    For theatre, Waller-Bridge worked on Florian Zeller's The Son (West End)[12] and The Forest (Hampstead Theatre),[13] Woyzeck, adapted by Jack Thorne (Old Vic),[14] Blood Wedding (Young Vic),[15] and Knives in Hens (Donmar Warehouse).[16]

    In June 2022, it was announced that Waller-Bridge would be providing an original score for an animated short film of The Boy, The Mole, The Fox And The Horse, which aired on BBC One and BBC iPlayer on Christmas 2022.[17]
