Alecia Beth Moore (born September 8, 1979 in Doylestown, Pennsylvania), better known by
her stage name P!NK, is an American singer-songwriter who gained prominence in early
2000.
P!nk began her career as an R&B artist, signed to the predominately urban label, LaFace
Records. She has since complained that because she chose to relinquish creative control to
her record label, she did not like the type of music she made at this time, or her image,
which included bright pink hair. Her first album, Can’t Take Me Home was a substantial
success, going platinum, due to the huge pop and urban radio hit singles “There You Go”
and “Most Girls”.
Towards the end of 2001, P!nk decided to take her career in a new direction and have more
creative control. Tired of being marketed as a another cookie-cutter pop act, and eager to
become a more serious songwriter and musician, P!nk sought the help of former 4 Non
Blondes vocalist, Linda Perry. Together, P!nk and Perry co-wrote and co-produced most of
the tracks on Pink’s sophomore album, Missundaztood, which was released in November
2001. The album’s more pop rock sound could be heard immediately with its first single, the
Linda Perry penned “Get the Party Started”. “Get the Party Started” was a hugely
commercially successful single, topping the charts in many countries. The album’s other
singles, “Don’t Let Me Get Me”, “Just Like A Pill”, and “Family Portrait” were also radio and
commercial successes.
Pink has so far sold over 25 million albums worldwide. Her upcoming album, Funhouse, was
released in October 2008, and has been preceded by her first solo number one ever on the
Billboard Hot 100, “So What.” which was also rated no.1 of 2008. Another hit from the same
album was “Sober”.
