Born in 1966 in London, Herbert grew up in a musical family and began playing the violin at the age of six. She attended the Royal Academy of Music in London, where she studied violin and composition. After completing her studies, Herbert began her career as a freelance musician, performing with various orchestras and ensembles. She quickly gained a reputation as a talented and versatile musician, and her skills as a composer and arranger soon came to the attention of the music industry. Herbert's first major breakthrough came in the early 1990s when she was asked to arrange strings for the band Oasis. Her work on their hit song "Wonderwall" helped to establish her as a go-to arranger for rock and pop acts. She went on to work with a wide range of artists, including Radiohead, The Verve, and Massive Attack. In addition to her work as an arranger, Herbert continued to perform as a violinist and composer. She formed the string quartet Bond in 2000, which quickly became one of the most popular classical crossover acts in the world. The group's unique blend of classical music and pop sensibilities earned them a large following and numerous awards. Herbert's work with Bond led to many other opportunities in the music industry.

Throughout her career, Herbert has received numerous awards and accolades for her work. In 2001, she won the Ivor Novello Award for Best Contemporary Song for her work on the song "All Mine" by Massive Attack. She has also been nominated for several Grammy Awards for her work with Bond. One of Herbert's most notable achievements came in 2012 when she was asked to arrange the music for the London Olympics opening ceremony.
