With 42 million monthly listeners on Spotify, English pop star and producer PinkPantheress (aka 25-year-old Victoria Walker) is kinda a big deal: her recent single Stateside + Zara Larsson was the biggest song in the world last month, topping both Billboard Global 200 chart and Spotify's Global Daily Chart. Nice work for someone who was uploading her GarageBand demos to Soundcloud just five years ago.
As telegraphed by her singles Tonight, which samples Panic! At The Disco deep cut Do You Know What I'm Seeing? from Pretty. Odd. and Where You Are, a collab with Willow, which contains a sample of Paramore's Never Let This Go , PinkPantheress was a huge fan of pop-punk and emo in her teens, and fronted a band who played My Chemical Romance and Paramore covers when she was just 14.
