Victoria Monét McCants is an American singer and songwriter. She became involved in performing arts at a young age, and later pursued a musical career in 2010. She soon took to songwriting and began working with record producer Rodney Jerkins—whose productions she would frequently co-write—and his affiliate, D'Mile. As a recording artist, McCants released a series of EPs independently throughout the mid-late 2010s before releasing her fifth EP Jaguar (2020) to critical acclaim. Her debut studio album, Jaguar II (2023) became her commercial breakthrough as it included the hit single "On My Mama". The song peaked within the top 50 of the Billboard Hot 100 and earned a Grammy Award nomination for Record of the Year; McCants earned a total of seven nominations at the 66th Annual Grammy Awards, including Best New Artist. McCants is a frequent collaborator of American singer Ariana Grande, having heavily written each of her studio albums beginning with her debut Yours Truly (2013) until her latest, Positions (2020). In 2019, McCants received two Grammy Award nominations for Album of the Year for her work on Grande's Thank U, Next and Record of the Year for "7 Rings". That same year, Grande and Monét released the single "Monopoly", which became a top 40 hit in the United Kingdom. Throughout her career, McCants has worked on recordings for other high-profile artists including Nas, Travis Scott, Blackpink, Fifth Harmony, T.I., Lupe Fiasco, Chrisette Michele, Coco Jones, Chloe x Halle and Chris Brown.
