The BPM's Queens
WONDAGURL
WondaGurl signed her first major production at 16 with “Crown” on Jay-Z’s album — a striking debut that set the tone for what would follow: “Antidote” for Travis Scott, “Bitch Better Have My Money” for Rihanna, “Teen Spirit” for SZA, “Used To” for Drake, “The Way Life Goes” for Lil Uzi Vert…
Her style? Dark, tense, razor-sharp productions. Few effects, total control. A raw, cinematic aesthetic where every sound hits at exactly the right moment. WondaGurl doesn’t just stack hits — she builds a space. In 2020, she became the first Black woman nominated for Producer of the Year at the Juno Awards. The following year, she launched her label, Wonderchild, to support young beatmakers.
ALISSIA BENVENISTE
Of Swiss-Italian origin, Alissia Benveniste is a producer and multi-instrumentalist driven by a love for pure music. She quickly stood out for her ability to blend classic funk with modern textures, bringing a feminine and innovative touch to today’s musical landscape.
She founded her own studio in New York, The Spaceship, and has collaborated with numerous renowned artists, including Anderson .Paak, Mark Ronson, Mary J. Blige, Masego, YEBBA, 21 Savage, Khalid, and Musiq Soulchild. In 2023, Alissia was nominated for a Grammy Award for her work on Mary J. Blige’s Good Morning Gorgeous, and in 2024 she earned another nomination — this time for Producer of the Year (Non-Classical).
Alissia embodies a new generation of artists redefining musical boundaries with an effortless ability to fuse genres and craft a truly unique sound.
PINKPANTHERESS
PinkPantheress isn’t just a singular voice in UK pop — she’s a full-fledged producer. She started on GarageBand, posted her tracks on TikTok, and built a sound entirely her own, somewhere between drum & bass, pop, and Y2K nostalgia. With Fancy That (2025), she levels up. Everything is under her control: production, samples (Basement Jaxx, Panic! at the Disco), transitions, creative direction. She defines a hybrid pop aesthetic without ever losing her signature.
Her approach is intuitive, sharp, personal. PinkPantheress doesn’t follow trends — she gets ahead of them.
And she proved it: in 2024, she was crowned Producer of the Year by Billboard Women in Music.
ROSALIA
Rosalía doesn’t just perform her songs — she conducts them. Every project is conceived as a total work of art, where she produces, writes, chooses the sounds, and shapes both the visual and sonic aesthetics. El Mal Querer sets the foundation: a blend of traditional flamenco and electronic textures inspired by R&B and rap.
Motomami, even more radical, blurs the lines between reggaeton, hyperpop, experimental music, and bolero. She pushes production to its limits: fractured sounds, unexpected silences, manipulated vocals
By receiving the very first Producer of the Year award in 2023 at the Billboard Women in Music Awards, she confirmed what had already been evident since El Mal Querer:
for Rosalía, production isn’t a behind-the-scenes role — it’s the core of her artistic vision.
MEEL B
Meel B has established herself as one of the most distinctive producers in today’s French rap scene. From her earliest beats, her universe stood out. Her encounter with Khali marked a turning point. What followed? Collaborations with La Fève, MadeInParis, TIF, and Kay The Prodigy.
The composer refuses to be boxed in; she develops a hybrid sound somewhere between trap, techno, and house. This approach runs through her EPs S&S, Dirty Synths and Nice Bars (2022, with Irko), and UFONY (2024), where she brings rap and futuristic sounds into conversation. In 2023, she also collaborated with Maureen on WW, a track co-produced with Zalmad, blending dancehall, electro glitches, and sharp lyricism.
TYSHA CEE
Tysha Cee is a producer who thinks big.
A DJ, beatmaker, and host on Rinse FM, she blends hip-hop, amapiano, dancehall, and house with ease — all while staying rooted in her Congolese heritage. From Paris to London, from Casablanca to underground stages, she crafts a hybrid, powerful, and borderless sound — as shown by her opening sets for Burna Boy, Wizkid, and Tommy Genesis.
In 2025, she opens a new chapter by composing the original score for the documentary Bad Bitch, la plus belle revanche du rap, broadcast on France TV. A powerful project that cements her place among the women shaping today’s sound.
