Born Alecia Moore, Pink grew up in a small town just outside Philadelphia, and made her singing debut at the age of thirteen, with a local rap group. Music was a huge part of her childhood; her father taught her the guitar and was a major influence on her musical style.
After being spotted performing at a Philadelphia club, she was signed by MCA Records to complete the line-up of vocal group Basic Instinct. After a short spell with the trio, Moore moved on to another R&B outfit; Choice, who were signed by LaFace Records.
Her writing contributions came to the attention of L.A. Reid, who signed her as a solo artist, and put her in the studio with the label's leading writer/producers, including Darryl Simmons and the label's co-founder, Babyface.
Her debut album, ‘Can't Take Me Home’, was released in April 2000, and hit the US charts with songs ‘There You Go’, and ‘Most Girls’.
Pink moved away from her urban roots on the more successful ‘M!ssundaztood’, a harder-edged album, featuring several tracks written and produced by her longtime idol, ex-4 Non Blondes leader, Linda Perry. The album repeated the commercial success of her debut, and featured the US Top five singles, ‘Get The Party Started’, and ‘Just Like A Pill’.
Her album 'Try This' in 2003 also spawned huge hit singles. Pink's songs are written to compliment and display her vocal range and her love of the pop side of R&B. However, she is probably best known for her ‘tough girl’ image, (her dog is named f**ker) and her distinctive style. She is rarely seen without brightly coloured hair and, at only nineteen, she already had thirteen tattoos.
