PinkPantehress has become the first woman and youngest ever artist to receive the Brit Awards Producer of the Year.
In 2025, she released her mixtape Fancy That and remix album Fancy Some More? which were nominated for two Grammy Awards at this year’s ceremony. Fancy That featured viral hits ‘Illegal’ and ‘Stateside’, after her number two single ‘Boy’s A Liar’ in 2022.
PinkPantheress said: “As the first woman to win this award, I’m grateful to be recognised.
“My music production is the thing I’m proudest of, and I’ve worked really hard at it, so I hope this inspires others to pursue their passion.”
Chairwoman of the 2026 Brit Awards, Stacey Tang, said: “PinkPantheress is both an inventive and instinctive voice in British pop right now. As a producer, she’s precise and playful, building bold, boundary-expanding sounds that travel beyond the UK.
“She’s quietly reshaping what modern pop can be, and in doing so, opening the door for a new wave of female producers to step forward.
