PinkPantheress by Jesse Crankson
PinkPantheress released her debut mixtape ‘To Hell With It’ on Parlophone last October.
TikTok has its first BBC Sound Of… champion with PinkPantheress crowned the winner for 2022.
“I’m honestly gassed, my dad’s going to be so happy!,” the songwriter has told the BBC. “I had self-belief from the beginning but when other people start telling you stuff like this, it genuinely keeps you going.”
Wet Leg were placed second ahead of the release of their self-titled debut album a littler later this year, while other nominated artists included Yard Act, Baby Queen and Mimi Webb.
“I fell in love with PinkPantheress’ boldness and playfulness with sound,” Radio 1’s Clara Amfo has said of their winner. “It takes a certain type of vim to play around with classic records and make them sound fresh and captivating and she does that with aplomb.”
