Biography of P!nk

P!nk is a powerhouse American pop-rock vocalist, songwriter, and actress who ranks among the world's most in-demand and best-selling artists. Nearly every album she releases goes platinum, with her music consistently setting trends across the global pop landscape.

P!nk commands attention not just through her music, but with her bold, fearless persona. Her shows consistently showcase elaborate choreography and death-defying aerial stunts that she performs herself.

Childhood and Youth

P!nk (born Alecia Beth Moore Hart) entered the world on September 8, 1979, in Doylestown, Pennsylvania. Her mother worked as an emergency room nurse, while her father was in the insurance business. P!nk's father had Irish and German heritage and was Catholic, while her mother was Jewish with Lithuanian and German roots. When P!nk was just ten, her parents divorced.

From early on, Alecia stood out with her powerful, distinctive voice. In high school, she began performing with the band Middleground, which broke up after losing a 'best group' competition. As a teen, P!nk wrote lyrics that her mother called "introspective, dark, and deeply emotional – almost neurotic."

She began performing at clubs around age 14. Around this time, she officially adopted the stage name P!nk – a nickname her friends had been using for years. The singer revealed she got her unique nickname from Mr. Pink, a character in Quentin Tarantino's "Reservoir Dogs" (1992), portrayed by Steve Buscemi.

Later, the artist admitted her youth was "wild and adventurous": she was into skateboarding, obsessed with hip-hop, and fascinated by rave culture – she never backed down from a challenge.

Music Career

At 16, P!nk and two of her friends established an R&B group called "Choice". A copy of their inaugural song, "Key to My Heart," was sent to LaFace Records in Atlanta. After the producer flew out personally to witness the girls' performance, they were offered a contract. The fledgling singers moved to Atlanta and promptly recorded an album, which, however, never saw the light of day. Still, their lead song, "Key to My Heart," was featured on the soundtrack for the 1996 film "Kazaam," directed by Paul Michael Glaser.

At some point, the producer gave P!nk an ultimatum – either go solo or head home. In 1998, "Choice" disbanded, and P!nk commenced work on her debut solo album. Her debut single "There You Go," released in February 2000, shot straight to #7 on the Billboard Hot 100, and also ranked among the top ten tracks in Australia, New Zealand, and the UK.

Her debut album, "Can't Take Me Home," quickly built a following, with "Most Girls" being the next hit. In 2001, P!nk, alongside Christina Aguilera, Mýa, and Lil' Kim, performed a cover of "Lady Marmalade," which was featured on the soundtrack of Baz Luhrmann's musical film "Moulin Rouge!" starring Nicole Kidman and Ewan McGregor.

The rising star's success got another major boost from the bold, eye-catching music video, which played constantly on every music channel, and subsequently honored with an MTV Video Music Award in the "Video of the Year" category.

During this period, P!nk dedicated significant effort to her second album, "M!ssundaztood." She was determined not to get boxed in as just another pop singer, resulting in the album's inclusion of audacious tracks such as "Get the Party Started" and "Don't Let Me Get Me," along with the lyrical song "Family Portrait."

When the album dropped, P!nk hit her career peak—her songs topped the music charts in English-speaking countries, her albums sold millions of copies, and she snagged the World Music Award for "Best Selling American Pop/Rock Female Artist." In 2002, she embarked on a monumental tour across America, Europe, and Australia, while also performing several concerts as part of rock artist Lenny Kravitz's US tour.

From 2003 to 2006, P!nk released two successful albums, "Try This" and "I'm Not Dead." She recorded the soundtrack for the action-comedy film "Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle," won several awards (including two Grammys for the songs "Stupid Girls" and "Trouble"), embarked on a world tour, and recorded collaborative tracks with Justin Timberlake, Annie Lennox, and singer Natalia.

Between 2008 and 2012, P!nk dropped two more albums—"Funhouse" and "The Truth About Love"—both massive hits that brought her another round of Grammy Awards.

Pink – Just Give Me A Reason

In 2014, P!nk teamed up with Dallas Green, the vocalist of City and Colour, to form the duo "You+Me" and released their collaborative album "Rose Ave." This album debuted in fourth place on the Billboard 200 and topped the American Folk chart. P!nk also made cameo appearances in the comedy "Get Him to the Greek" as fictional singer Aldous Snow's (Russell Brand) lover and took on one of the lead roles in the comedic drama "Thanks for Sharing."

In 2015 and 2016, P!nk appeared in the biographical film "Janis: Little Girl Blue" about Janis Joplin's life and the musical drama "Popstar: Never Stop Never Stopping."

In October 2017, P!nk released "Beautiful Trauma," marking her bold move into dance-pop. Channing Tatum starred in the music video for the album's title track, where he and P!nk exchanged clothes. In early March 2018, P!nk embarked on her seventh concert tour, the Beautiful Trauma World Tour, which lasted until September.

In April 2019, P!nk dropped her eighth studio album, "Hurts 2B Human," featuring 13 new tracks. The album generally received positive reviews from critics. Music portal Metacritic rated the new album at 71 out of 100.

In spring 2020, amid the coronavirus pandemic, P!nk announced that she and her three-year-old son Jameson had contracted COVID-19. P!nk immediately got both herself and her son tested, confirming they had the virus. P!nk later revealed that her family had a tough battle with the disease. Consequently, she donated half a million dollars to the Temple University Hospital Fund in Philadelphia and a COVID-19 crisis fund.

Personal Life of P!nk

In 2001, P!nk met professional motocross racer Carey Hart in Philadelphia, and there was instant chemistry. In June 2005, P!nk proposed to Hart during the "Mammoth Lakes" motocross race by writing on a pit board: "Will you marry me? I'm serious!" When Hart saw the message, he immediately pulled off the track to reach her, but P!nk insisted Carey finish the race first because she "didn't want to marry a loser."

P!nk and Carey tied the knot in Costa Rica in early 2006. The couple separated two years later, but P!nk confirmed they'd reconciled in February 2010. Soon after, Hart appeared in P!nk's music videos for songs like "Just Give Me A Reason," "True Love," and "Just Like Fire."

In June 2011, P!nk gave birth to her daughter, Willow Sage. In December 2016, her son, Jameson Moon, was born.

P!nk's idols include Madonna and Janis Joplin. The singer has said she actually believed she was Madonna's daughter when she was little.

P!nk landed on Forbes' highest-paid musicians list in 2013 with earnings of around $32 million.

In February 2023, after a four-year break, P!nk released her ninth album "Trustfall". It included 13 new compositions. Surprisingly, she left off her 2022 protest anthem "Irrelevant," which championed women's rights while taking aim at the internet trolls P!nk regularly faces.
