Pink

On 7th January, 2006, Pink married motocross racer Carey Hart in Costa Rica, and the couple is blessed with a daughter named Willow Sage Hart.

This artist is an animal activist and a supporter of the organization ‘PETA’, and in addition to this she also voiced against the Australian wool Industry for its use of ‘Mulesing’. She even advocated the 'I'd Rather Go Naked Than Wear Fur' movement organized by 'PETA', baring it all in a 2015 photo shoot.

She is also a supporter of same-sex marriage and also associated with charitable organizations such as ‘UNICEF’, ‘ONE Campaign’, ‘Human Rights Campaign’, ‘New York Restoration Project’, ‘Prince’s Trust’, ‘Save the Children’ and Take Back the Night’.

She was born to Jim Moore and Judy on 8th September, 1979, in Doylestown, Pennsylvania, and christened Alecia Beth Moore. Her father was an insurance agent and her mother was a nurse. However, when she was ten years old, her parents separated.

She received education from ‘Central Bucks High School West’ and as a child she suffered from asthma.

She developed an interest for singing and was even a part of the high school band ‘Middleground’. She even wrote lyrics which gave a vent to her emotions, and her mother was quoted saying that her lyrics were deep.

In her early teenage she performed at clubs in Philadelphia and during this time, she took up the pseudo-name Pink. She cleared the audition and became a member of the ‘Basic Instinct’ band; however, this band was dismantled soon.

When she was sixteen years old, she formed an R&B band ‘Choice’, along with associates Chrissy Conway and Stephanie Galligan. The band recorded a song ‘Key to My Heart’ and sent in to Atlanta to the record label ‘LaFace Records’ and this song impressed musician L. A. Reid.

This earned the band a contract and they shifted to Atlanta. However, the album which they recorded was not released, and their song ‘Key to My Heart’ was featured in the 1996 film ‘Kazaam’.

Reid saw the talent which Pink possessed and suggested her to continue a career as a solo artist. She followed his suggestion and in 1998, the band ‘Choice’ ceased to exist. She then entered into a contract with the ‘LaFace Records’ company and started to work on her first solo album.

In 2000, her first song ‘There You Go’ hit the music stores and became an immense hit, reaching the seventh position at the ‘Billboard Hot 100’. The same year, her album ‘Can’t Take Me Home’ reached the audience and became a hit. It was placed at number 26 in the ‘Billboard 200’ chart and the ‘Recording Industry Association of America’ (RIAA) even certified it with double platinum.

The albums second song ‘Most Girls’ reached number four on the ‘Billboard Hot 100’ and topped the music charts in Australia. The same year, she even toured with the ‘NSYNC’ band in their ‘No Strings Attached Tour’.

Among all her albums and singles, her second album ‘Missundaztood’ became a huge success and established her as an international artist. This is one of her best-selling albums and even ranked number eight among in the best-selling albums of 2002.

Her sixth album ‘The Truth About Love’ topped the ‘Billboard 200’ chart and this was her first album to top the chart. The ‘RIAA’ certified the album with double platinum.
