Holborne entered Cambridge University in 1562. He was admitted to the Inner Temple Court in 1565. Holborne married Elisabeth Marten on June 14, 1584. On the title page of both his books he claims to be in the service of Queen Elizabeth. He died of a ‘cold’ in November 1602.

His patron was the Countess of Pembroke, Mary Sidney. In the 1590s he entered the service of Sir Robert Cecil, the 1st Earl of Salisbury.
His brother was William Holborne. Six of William's madrigals were included in the Cittarn Schoole.
