Pink (Alecia Beth Moore) was born on September 8, 1979, is an American singer-songwriter who gained prominence in 2000.
Alecia Beth Moore was born in Doylestown, Pennsylvania to Vietnam veteran James Moore and nurse Judy Kugel.
Pink released her first record, the R&B-based Can't Take Me Home, in 2000 via LaFace Records. Her pop rock-based second studio album, M!ssundaztood, was released in 2001 and is her biggest seller to date.
2003's Try This, her third album, failed to match the success of M!ssundaztood. After taking a break, Pink released her fourth studio album, I'm Not Dead (2006), which has been successful worldwide. Pink has sold over twenty-three million albums.
In 2001 she collaborated with Christina Aguilera, rapper Lil' Kim and Mýa on a cover of Labelle's 1975 single "Lady Marmalade" recorded for the soundtrack of the film Moulin Rouge!.
Produced by hip-hop producers Rockwilder and Missy Elliott, the song topped the charts in countries including the U.S., the UK and Australia. The success of the single was helped by its music video, which was popular on music channels and featured the four singers dressed in sexually suggestive burlesque outfits.
The song won a Grammy Award Pink's first for "Best Pop Collaboration with Vocals", and the video won the MTV Video Music Award for "Video of the Year". |
