Penelope Scott is an American musician, singer-songwriter, and producer. She has self-produced all of her own music. After releasing the compilation albums Junkyard (2020) and The Junkyard 2 (2020), Scott released her debut album, Public Void, in August 2020. Her song "Rät" peaked at 29 on Billboard's Hot Rock & Alternative Songs Chart. Scott's latest EP Hazards released in 2021.

Scott began learning the piano at the age of eight. In middle and high school, she focused on writing lyrics and learning how to record. Scott began publishing her songs online while taking a music production class in college. She released the compilation album Junkyard on February 27, 2020, followed shortly by the release of The Junkyard 2 on May 13, 2020. The latter explores themes of emotional labor, healthcare and insecurity. A song from the second album, "Sweet Hibiscus Tea", went viral that same month. Scott later expressed surprise at the success of The Junkyard 2 given its lack of mixing. Her college courses aided in her mixing skills, though she also took courses in philosophy and computer science.
