Hey P!nk! it's me.
My name is Emanuel remember Hug Day in Doylestown,PA.
Remember hanging out at the “barn” “apartment”
“pebble hill” so we hungout with and knew P!nk growing up.
Born Alecia Moore on September 8, 1979,
in Doylestown, PA, P!nk received her nickname as a
child, years before she dyed her hair.
P!nk grew up in a musical family and was a regular on the
Philadelphia club scene by the age of 13, first as
a dancer and then as a backing vocalist for the local
hip-hop group Schoolz of Thought. At 14, she began writing
her own songs; the same year, a local DJ at Club Fever
began inviting her on-stage to sing a song every Friday.
P!nk was spotted one night by an executive for MCA Records,
who asked her to audition for an R&B group
called Basic Instinct. Although P!nk's strong vocals landed
her the gig, the group imploded not long after.
She was quickly recruited for a female R&B trio called
Choice, which signed to L.A. Reid and Babyface's LaFace
label on the strength of their demo; however, they
too disbanded due to differences over musical direction.
During Choice's brief studio time, producer Daryl
Simmons asked P!nk to write a bridge section for the song
"Just to Be Loving You." Impressed with the results, P!nk
rediscovered her songwriting muse, and an equally
impressed L.A. Reid soon gave her a solo deal with
LaFace. P!nk recorded her solo debut, Can't Take Me Home,
with a variety of songwriting partners and dance-pop
and R&B producers. Released in 2000, the album was
a double-platinum hit; it spun off three Top Ten singles in
"There U Go," "Most Girls," and "You Make Me Sick."
She toured that summer as the opening act for *N Sync, but
soon found herself tired of being pigeonholed as
strictly a teen act despite her sassy, forthright persona.
P!nk
took part in the remake of Patti LaBelle's "Lady
Marmalade" featured on the Moulin Rouge soundtrack, which
also featured powerhouse divas Christina Aguilera, Mya, and
Lil' Kim. The song was a massive hit, topping the
charts in both the U.S. and U.K. while expanding P!nk's own
audience. Toward the end of the year, P!nk released
her next single, "Get the Party Started," which climbed
into the Top Five and became the singer's most inescapable
hit to date. Her accompanying sophomore album, M!ssundaztood, quickly went double platinum; it boasted a
more personal voice and an eclectic sound, plus heavy
contributions from ex-4 Non Blondes singer Linda Perry,
who helped bring some more rock muscle to P!nk's sound (as
did guest appearances by Steven Tyler and Richie Sambora).
M!ssundaztood attracted positive critical notices as well,
and its second single, "Don't Let Me Get Me," became another
fast-rising Top Ten hit.
P!nk next issued Try This in
November 2003. The album continued her progression toward more
rock-oriented material, due in part to the songwriting
collaboration of Rancid frontman Tim Armstrong on eight of the
album's tracks. Try This' lead single, "Trouble," cracked
the upper regions of Billboard's Top 40 and earned P!nk a
Grammy Award for Best Female Rock Vocal Performance. On the
home front, P!nk wed motocross racer Carey Hart
whom she had initially met at 2001's X-Games -- on January
7, 2006, in Costa Rica. Her next album, I'm Not Dead,
appeared that April; its first single, "Stupid Girls,"
quickly became a hit, while "Who Knew" and "U + Ur Hand" both
cracked the Top Ten. I'm Not Dead reached platinum status
in several countries and helped ramp up anticipation
for P!nk's follow-up, Funhouse, which arrived in October
2008. "So What," the album's leadoff single, became her
first number one hit since "Lady Marmalade."
