Hannah Peel

Hannah Peel’s career? Wildly impressive, honestly. She’s not just some background name—she’s racked up a ton of awards, including the Ivor Novello in 2023 for her moody, unforgettable soundtrack to Sky’s “The Midwich Cuckoos.” And if that’s not enough, she nabbed an Emmy nom for her work on the “Game of Thrones: The Last” soundtrack. Kind of a big deal, right? She’s not slowing down either—there’s a Paramount+ project in the pipeline for 2024, plus she co-composed the Netflix flick “Scoop” (the one starring Gillian Anderson, Billie Piper, and Rufus Sewell). Peel’s also left her mark on BBC docs—like her evocative score for “Lee Miller - A Life On The Frontline”—and the Channel 5 thriller “The Deceived,” which Electronic Sound Magazine crowned Soundtrack Album of the Year. The Music Producers Guild in the UK handed her the Original Score Recording Of The Year, and she even grabbed Best TV Soundtrack at the Royal Television Society Awards in Northern Ireland. Her film credits just keep coming, too: “Rogue Agent” with James Norton and Gemma Arterton in 2022, and the upcoming BBC Films project “Silent Roar.” As if that’s not enough, she’s a BBC Radio 3 staple, hosting “Night Tracks” every week. Peel’s solo albums are just as striking—“Fir Wave” (Mercury Prize-nominated), “Awake But Always Dreaming” (a moving tribute to her grandmother’s dementia journey), and the cosmic journey “Mary Casio: Journey to Cassiopeia.” She’s also teamed up with Paul Weller, handling orchestral arrangements for his Royal Festival Hall shows and contributing to his chart-toppers. Total powerhouse.
