Victoria Christina Hesketh (born 4 May 1984), also known by her stage name/pseudonym Little Boots, is an English electropop singer–songwriter.  She took her name from that of the Roman Emperor Caligula, whose name comes from "little soldier's boot".  Her nickname was given to her by a friend, and is a reference to the fact that she has small feet.

As a musician Little Boots sings and plays the keyboardpianostylophone and a Japanese electronic instrument called Tenori-on. After a return to college to focus on her studies, Hesketh along with two of her fellow students formed the indie pop/electronic band Dead Disco. The band had limited releases of two their singles but due to increasingly different ideas about the band's musical direction Hesketh left to pursue a solo career.

Hesketh has cited as influences Captain BeefheartBritney SpearsThe Human LeagueGary NumanPink Floyd,Jean Michel Jarre and Kraftwerk. Hesketh began writing her own songs and posting covers on the social networking sites such as YouTube andMySpace. After appearing on several shows including Later... with Jools Holland and Last Call with Carson Daly, Hesketh entered production on her debut album Hands. With increasing media attention regarding her then-yet-to-be-released debut album, Hesketh topped the BBC Sound of 2009 poll and received a BRIT Critics Choice nomination.
