Pink, born Alecia Moore, was born on September
8, 1979. Her parents are James and Judy, and she has an older
brother named Jason. She has bright blue eyes, a ton of
self-confidence, and a rebellious streak. She grew up in
Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Her dad was a great influence on her,
and even at a young age, she knew she was born to be a singer.
At age 13, she met club dancer Skratch. After meeting him, Pink
became the backup singer of Skratch's rap group, School of Thoughts.
At 14, Pink wrote her first song. She sings soprano and has an
R&B and pop sound. She always writes songs about her Philly
childhood and past experiences.
Going clubbing started Pink's career in the music business. She went
to Club Fever on Fridays and got herself a five minute spot to
sing.
Pink didn't quite fit in with Basic Instinct, so she left. Next she
signed with LaFace Records and the band Choice. Because of
differences in goals, Choice didn't work, but it did lead to Pink's
relationship with LaFace Records, the label she's under now.
Pink's debut CD, Can't Take Me Home was released in Spring 2002. She
sings about real moments in her life and personal experiences, but never
about romantic stuff. Her inspirations include Mary J. Blige,
Madonna, Janis Joplin, Whitney Houston, and the Supremes. She spent
her first summer tour opening for *N Sync. "From skateboarder
to hip-hopper to lead singer of a rock band--I did it all and all at the
same time," is how Pink describes herself. At only 23 years
old, Pink has a wonderful future ahead of her.
