PinkPantheress Biography
PinkPantheress’s real name is Vicky Beverley Walker, a 21-year-old promising singer/songwriter and producer born in Bath, Somerset, England, on April 18, 2001.
Although born in Bath, her roots trace down to Kent in England. PinkPantheress is a product of mixed races, with her father being English and her mother being Kenyan.
The artiste coined the stage name “PinkPantheress” after she watched the ITV quiz show “The Chase”, where one of the contestants answered that a female panther is known as a pantheress. Vicky added ‘Pink’ to the name to distinguish it from another artist using Pantheress as her stage name.
PinkPanthess went from an anonymous TikTok sensation to one of the most prominent rising artists. Early last year, she topped the BBC’s Sound of 2022 list, meant to showcase blooming artists. This came relatively quickly after the internet discovered the singer.
Before her recognition, PinkPantheress used to write and produce music for a friend. Eventually, she evolved into making music for herself.
When she uploaded her songs online, she did not inform her friends or disclose who she was to her listeners. She said, “ It’s not about secrecy. I’m avoiding stress and preconceptions”.
PinkPantheress Early Life, Childhood
PinkPantheress, also known as Victoria Beverley Walker, was born in 2001 to a Kenyan mother and an English father.
Her mother is a carer, and her father is a statistics professor. She also has an older brother who is an audio engineer.
In 2006 her family moved from Bath to Kent, where she grew up. Victoria’s father moved to the United States to lecture at the University of Austin, Texas, while she and her mother stayed back in England.
Growing up, she took piano lessons, and at age 12, she sang at a school talent show. When she turned 14, she became the lead singer of a rock band that sang covers of Paramore, My Chemical Romance, and Green Day. She also performed with them for the first time at a fete.
She studied film art at the University of the Arts London until dropping out in 2022.
PinkPantheress Career
PinkPantheress is a singer and songwriter. Her tendency to thrive in her music career path had always been inevitable. Ever since she was a little girl, progressing to her early teens, she was the lead singer in a cover band.
The young singer gained an audience in December 2020 after she posted a video on her personal TikTok and got over 500,000 likes.
During that same period, she posted her song “Just a Waste” as PinkPantheress to reach a wider audience; the snippet eventually went viral on the platform.
On the 2nd of July 2021, the song got released on Spotify, among other tracks such as Passion and Pain. However, “Just a Waste” was deleted from music platforms in September 2021 because of copyright issues.
Although having risen from the TikTok platform, PinkPantheress does not consider it a permanent tool for gaining a positive audience for her songs but only views it as a leg-up for upcoming artists.
PinkPantheress’s popularity has unlocked a door of opportunities for her. She received an invitation to perform a virtual concert in Roblox for the BRIT Awards with Mastercard in 2022. It’s fair to say her invitation was because she reaches a vast Gen Z audience.
She has a series of collaborations with some amazing artists and got signed to Parlophone in April 2021 and Elektra Records in June 2021.
After a snippet of her “Just For Me” song gained an audience on TikTok, she uploaded it in August 2021 alongside a music video co-directed by her and released in September. It became her highest entry on the UK Singles Chart and her second top 40.
She announced the release date of her song “I Must Apologize” and her debut mixtape “To Hell With It” in early October 2021.
