Anna Meredith MBE (born 1978, London; raised in Scotland) is a composer, producer and performer whose work spans contemporary classical, electronica, art pop and experimental rock.

Her second album FIBS (2019) was shortlisted for the Mercury Prize, and she has since built a parallel career scoring films for A24 and Netflix.
