A multi-platinum recording artist and producer, PinkPantheress – real name Victoria Beverley Walker – is also nominated for two further awards on the night: Artist of the Year and Dance Act. Aged only 24, Walker has cultivated quite a following and achieved remarkable success even in her early 20s, with over a billion streams and multiple charting songs.
“As the first woman to win this award, I’m grateful to be recognised,” says PinkPantheress. “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.”
“PinkPantheress is both an inventive and instinctive voice in British pop right now,” says Stacey Tang, Chair of the 2026 BRIT Awards Committee and Co-President of RCA Records at Sony Music UK. 
“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. Celebrating her at the BRITs is both timely and significant.”
The BRIT Awards will take place on Saturday, 28 February at the Co-op Live Arena in Manchester, UK. Hosted by comedian Jack Whitehall, the show will be broadcast live exclusively on ITV and ITVX.
The night will see a string of performances from a star-studded lineup, including Harry Styles, Olivia Dean, Ejae, Wolf Alice, Rosalía and more.
The event looks promising for Olivia Dean and Lola Young – who are each nominated for five different awards, while singer-songwriter Sam Fender is nominated for four awards.
