Victoria Beverley Walker (born 18 April 2001), known professionally as PinkPantheress, is an English singer, songwriter, and record producer. Her songs, which are frequently short in length and include samples of music from the 1990s and 2000s, span a number of genres, including alt-pop, bedroom pop, drum and bass, and 2-step garage. She has been nominated for three Brit Awards and was named Producer of the Year by Billboard Women in Music in 2024.
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. She won BBC's Sound of 2022 poll after the singles "Just for Me" and "Pain" peaked in the top 40 of the UK Singles Chart. Her 2022 single "Boy's a Liar" reached number two in the UK, while its 2023 remix with American rapper Ice Spice peaked at number three on the Billboard Hot 100. In 2023, PinkPantheress released her debut album Heaven Knows, which was accompanied by her headlining Capable of Love Tour the following year.
