Bio

Victoria Beverley Walker (born April 19, 2001), known professionally as PinkPantheress, is a British singer-songwriter and record producer. Her music blends styles such as R&B, house music, alternative pop and is sample heavy music taking inspiration from 90s and 2000s sounds and songs. 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 her sounds from SoundCloud and TikTok became popular, including “Break It Off”, leading to her signing to Parlophone and Elektra Records and releasing 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.

She has been honored with several accolades, making history as the youngest person and first woman to be awarded Brit Award for British Producer of the Year.
