PANTHER1NA
PANTHER1NA is a dynamic force in the global music scene, blending the vibrant cultures of her Norwegian and Jamaican heritage with the eclectic energy of London. From a young age, her passion for music was shaped by her mother’s diverse record collection, while formal training under concert pianist Ariana Prussner honed her skills in both piano and vocals, laying the foundation for her multifaceted career.
Her love for electronic music ignited in the underground warehouse rave scene of early 2000s London, where the raw energy of Drum & Bass, Techno, and House music captivated her. These formative years shaped her distinctive DJ style, which blends the grooves of Funky, Disco, Tribal, and Deep House. PANTHER1NA’s sets have graced iconic venues like Ministry of Sound, EGG, and exclusive events like the Ambani pre-wedding celebrations. Her reputation as a versatile and engaging performer has also led to numerous residencies in London’s vibrant nightlife scene.
Beyond her DJ career, PANTHER1NA’s talents extend to vocal and writing work across various genres. Her contributions can be heard on tracks featured in Channel 4’s Skins, while her collaborations with Sony/ATV and EMI Publishing showcase her diverse range as a writer and producer. In 2012, she released her debut EP Word On The Street under the moniker AINA ROXX, blending rock, soulful vocals, rap, and infectious hooks.
PANTHER1NA’s live performance credentials are equally impressive. She toured as a member of the legendary Stereo MCs and is a resident singer at London’s Blues Kitchen, where her powerful voice continues to captivate audiences.
Looking ahead, 2025 promises to be a transformative year for PANTHER1NA, with new music and exciting projects on the horizon. Always challenging conventions and redefining what it means to be an artist in the modern era, she remains a beacon of creativity and innovation in the global music landscape.
