In just a few years, Tems went from working a digital marketing job to becoming a globally known hit-maker who rubs shoulders with stars like Beyoncé, Rihanna and Drake — all without losing her cool or confidence. “When I make music, I don’t really think about where it’s going to end up,” she explains nonchalantly.

My big struggle is deciding whether I care more about being the biggest artist I can be commercially or being critically sound,” Charli XCX says. “Then sometimes I land in this place of not caring about either of those things.” For most of her decade-plus career as both a songwriter for other pop stars (Gwen Stefani, […]
When Victoria Monét looked in the mirror five years ago, she saw a successful songwriter whose growing list of estimable credits included co-writes on two of Ariana Grande’s biggest hits, “Thank U, Next” and “7 Rings.” What Monét, then 30, didn’t see was a successful solo artist — a goal she had been tirelessly pursuing since 2009.

It’s Friday night in Las Vegas, and Voltaire, the intimate art deco-meets-Studio 54 new performance venue within the Venetian, has transformed into an extremely lit gay club. Beneath countless sparkling disco and glass balls, the crowd of 1,000 dances to the DJ’s mix of a who’s who of dance-pop — Jessie Ware, Spice Girls, ABBA, Sophie […]

In 2023, Billboard honored Rosalía as its first-ever Producer of the Year — and now, the baton has been passed to PinkPantheress.
As announced Thursday (Feb. 15), the 22-year-old Bath, England native will accept the 2024 Producer of the Year Award presented by Bose at the Billboard Women in Music Awards presented by Marriott Bonvoy on Wednesday, March 6. The ceremony will be hosted by Tracee Ellis Ross at the YouTube Theater at Hollywood Park in Los Angeles.
“We are thrilled to honor PinkPantheress as one of the most exciting young producers on the rise,” says Hannah Karp, Billboard’s Editorial Director. “Women are still seriously underrepresented among the producers making today’s top hits, so we’re grateful to our partners at Bose for helping spotlight talented artists like PinkPantheress who are producing and inspiring a new generation of women to get behind the boards, in addition to wowing fans their fans as performers on stage.”
Known for her ability to turn niche samples into viral dance-pop beats, PinkPantheress has been producing her own music since she first found fame on TikTok in 2021. In March 2023, she reached her highest peak to date on the Billboard Hot 100 with the No. 3 hit “Boy’s a Liar, Pt. 2” featuring Ice Spice. She executive produced her 2023 album Heaven Knows; to date, her full song catalog has registered 1.62 billion official on-demand U.S. streams, according to Luminate.
