PinkPantheress accepts the Producer of the Year award at Billboard Women In Music 2024.PinkPantheress:Hi. To show my appreciation for this award, I think it’s important to mention my roots as a producer. I was at university in a dorm room — oh, my hearts beating really quickly — when I decided there was no way graduating university was going to make me happy in the long run. But I was simultaneously too shy to admit that I wanted to be a musician. Because of this, I had to make music in private and not tell anyone.
For my first year as an artist, I was anonymous. I never thought I’d be recognized as a producer, because I didn’t think I was really producing anything because I was writing and singing over drum and bass and jungle beats that were already known in great length in the U.K. Only as my music started to develop did I think of adding my own drums, my own keys, until I was making some beats from scratch. That’s when I finally felt comfortable calling myself a producer.
Oh, girl. OK, sorry, this is the last bit. It’s painful for all of us. Oh, God. Stop, guys, stop! Please! I’m shaking.
OK, as a woman of color in electronic music, specifically two-step, drum and bass, it’s taken a lot for the genre to be recognized on a wider scale. A lot of people didn’t expect me to look the way I did making the music I was making. And nobody, even now, people don’t want to take my music seriously, but I’m just happy that I have the opportunity to be recognized in this specific field by the Billboard Women in Music Awards.
I watched Rosalia get this last year and that’s my queen. So I’m just … and as much as this is an event for the women, the girlies tonight, I do need to give a shout-out to Mura Masa, who guided me with my musical direction and who deserves to be recognized for his influence through my music and to his own, so thank you everybody here!Watch the full video above!

Billboard takes a look back at the past Women Of The Year honorees at Billboard Women In Music event.
Katy Perry:I like to be viewed as a strong woman and I think that’s what Billboard is basically saying.
Tetris Kelly:Every year, Women in Music honor some of the best to ever do it and none more important than our Woman of the Year. Today we’re discussing a few of them, including the youngest to ever win. The girl power has never been stronger.
Katy Perry:I was also a bit surprised because I thought my year was over.
Tetris Kelly:2012 was the year Katy Perry wrapped up her California Dream Tour earned her seventh No. 1 song on the Hot 100 and took home Billboard’s Woman of the Year.
Katy Perry:I don’t really like to call myself a role model for my fans, but I hope that I am an inspiration for them, especially young women.
Tetris Kelly:In 2015, Lady Gaga ventured into jazz, acting and became Billboard’s Woman of the Year.
Lady Gaga:What I really want to say is that it is really hard sometimes for women in music. It’s like a f–king boys club that we just can’t get into.
Tetris Kelly:Giving an inspiring speech with a bit of humor.
Lady Gaga:Sorry, Grandma.
Tetris Kelly:But ultimately, keeping it real.
Lady Gaga:I might not be a lot of things but I can write songs and I can sing.
Tetris Kelly:Four years later, Billy Eilish took home the honor, the same year she released her debut album.
Billie Eilish:It’s really weird to be a Woman of the Year at 17.
Tetris Kelly:Billie became the youngest artist to be named Woman of the Year
Billie Eilish:Women who in the past have like, done what they weren’t supposed to do, has made my life a lot easier and made me able to do what I want and be what I want.
Tetris Kelly:What will happen this year when we honor Karol G? Tune into Women in Music March 7 at 5pm PT on BillboardWomenInMusic.com
