Muskett trained at the Royal College of Music in London and soon after began a career as a cellist, playing for named United Kingdom orchestras. Her composing career began when she was invited to write the music for a natural history documentary which, in turn, spurred further commissions in this genre.
She worked for production companies such as National Geographic, Discovery, the British Broadcasting Corporation and IMAX. Muskett’s passion for the environment and her fascination with the natural world inspired a diverse ethnicity in her scores. Inevitably Muskett’s documentary work has received praise, winning her 2 Emmy’s and 5 Emmy nominations.
Muskett has a studio in Los Angeles and another in Highgate, London and divides her time between them, working in both film and television
