'''Victoria Beverley Walker''' (born 19 April 2001), known professionally as '''PinkPantheress''', is a British singer-songwriter and record producer. Her music blends styles such as R&B, drum and bass, UK garage, house, and alternative pop, often sampling music from the 1990s and 2000s and featuring affable stream-of-consciousness lyrics.<ref name="am">{{cite web |last1=Monger |first1=James Christopher |title=PinkPantheress Bio |url=https://www.allmusic.com/artist/pinkpantheress-mn0004083042 |website=AllMusic |access-date=1 April 2026}}</ref>
Born in Bath, Somerset, and raised in Kent, PinkPantheress began her musical career in 2021 while attending university in London, where she produced songs using GarageBand and posted them on SoundCloud and TikTok. Several of them, including "Break It Off", became popular on TikTok, and she signed to Parlophone and Elektra Records and released her debut mixtape ''To Hell with It'' later that year. Her 2022 singles "Just for Me" and "Pain" peaked in the top 40 of the UK Singles Chart, and "Boy's a Liar" reached number two.
PinkPantheress's debut studio album, ''Heaven Knows'' (2023), charted in ten countries. It spawned the UK top-20 song "Nice to Meet You" and the remix single "Boy's a Liar Pt. 2" (with Ice Spice), which peaked at number three on the US ''Billboard'' Hot 100. She continued this success with her second mixtape, ''Fancy That'' (2025), which reached number three on the UK Albums Chart. It spawned the UK top-40 singles "Tonight" and "Stateside", and "Illegal" became her second entry in the US. The remix single "Stateside + Zara Larsson" became her second top-ten hit in the US and her first to top the ''Billboard'' Global 200.
PinkPantheress won BBC's Sound of 2022 poll and was named Producer of the Year by ''Billboard'' Women in Music in 2024. She won the Brit Award for British Producer of the Year in 2026, becoming the youngest person and first woman in history to be awarded the honour. She has also been nominated for three American Music Awards and two Grammy Awards.
