PinkPantheress has been named the BRIT Awards’ 2026 Producer of the Year. She’s the youngest artist and first woman to receive the honor.
In a press statement, 2026 BRIT Awards Committee chair and co-president of RCA Records UK 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. Celebrating her at the BRITs is both timely and significant.”
The 2026 BRIT Awards broadcast live from Manchester’s Co-op Live Arena this Saturday, February 28, at 1 p.m. EST / 6 p.m. GMT. Harry Styles, Rosalía, and Olivia Dean are among ther performers at this year’s ceremony.
Last year, PinkPantheress shared the mixtape Fancy That and its companion remix project, Fancy Some More? Over the weekend, gold medal figure skater (and noted PinkPantheress fan) Alysa Liu debuted a new routine set to the pop star’s “Stateside” remix with Zara Larsson at the 2026 Olympic Exhibition Gala.
