PinkPantheress is the stage name of Vicky Beverly Walker, an English singer, songwriter, and record producer. She is known for her blend of bedroom pop, drum and bass, alt-pop, and 2-step garage, often incorporating samples of music from the 1990s and 2000s.
A combination of her favorite film, The Pink Panther, and a question from the British game show The Chase inspired PinkPantheress's stage name. In an interview with the BBC, PinkPantheress explained that she was deciding on a TikTok username and came across a clip of The Chase where host Bradley Walsh asked a contestant what a female panther was called. The answer, "pantheress," caught her attention, and she decided to use it as her username. Later, she added "pink" in front of it to make it unique.
Born in Bath, England, PinkPantheress moved to Kent at 5 with her mother, a carer of Kenyan heritage, and her English father, a statistics professor. Her dad relocated to work at a university in Austin, Texas, meaning her parents' marriage morphed into a long-distance relationship.
