All About PINK!!! (:

Born:



Alecia Beth Moore - September 8, 1979 in Doylestown, Pennsylvania.






Quote from Pink:


In reference to Britney Spears from interview with Teen People: "To me, she represents puppets on a string and lip-synching. All the girls that came out in the last couple of years, we all got thrown into one bucket. I don't want people to throw me in that bucket."






Growing Up:


Pink (there are a variety of stories about the origin of the nickname) grew up in a musical family. At age 14, she began writing and singing some of her own songs in clubs in Philadelphia. She was spotted by an MCA Records executive who asked her to audition for a group. She made it into Basic Instinct, but they quickly folded. She was then recruited into a group named Choice signed to the LaFace label. When they disbanded, she was offered a solo contract.






Pink's First Success:


Pink's first album, Can't Take Me Home, released in 2000, was recorded with a wide range of R&B songwriters and producers. Pink has said she really didn't like this direction for her music, but the album sold over 2 million copies and included the top 10 hit singles "Most Girls" and "There You Go." While preparing for her next solo album, she performed as part of a star-studded remake of "Lady Marmalade" with Lil' Kim, Christina Aguilera, and Mya.
