Pink ~ P!nkAlecia Beth MooreALECIA Beth Moore (born September 8, 1979) better known by her stage name Pink (stylized as P!nk), is an American Singer-songwriter, musician, acrobat, and occasional actress who rose to fame in early 2000. She's been described as "the world's most underrated superstar" by journalist James Montgomery and as "one of the most talented artists out there today" by songwriter Kara DioGuardi. The statement was first mentioned after her performance at the 2009 MTV Video Music Awards, where her trapeze performance of "Sober" (which was in fact co-written with Kara DioGuardi) was elected the best of the night by many reviews. Kara's quote was extracted from her live performance of the same song. Pink released her third album, Try This, in November 2003, which although less successful commercially than her previous release, still managed to sell around 5 million copies and earned her a Grammy for Best Female Rock Vocal Performance for the single Trouble, and her fourth album was released in April 2006, called I'm Not Dead. The album generated several hit singles, including "Stupid Girls", "U + Ur Hand" and "Who Knew". Both U + Ur Hand and Who Knew went #1 on the pop chart. Her fifth album, Funhouse, was released in late October 2008 and was preceded by her first solo number one on the Hot 100, "So What". The album notched three other Top 20 hits "Sober", "Please Don't Leave Me" and "Glitter in the Air".
Pink is the #1 Pop Song Artist of the Decade (2000-2009) according to Billboard's Decade End Chart. She has also scored ten Billboard Hot 100 Top 10 US hits, including eight as a solo artist, and won two Grammy Awards, 5 MTV Music Awards and 2 Brit Awards.
Pink was born Alecia Moore in Doylestown, Pennsylvania, USA, the daughter of Judith Moore, née Kugel, a nurse, and James Moore, Jr., a Vietnam veteran. Her father is Catholic and her mother is Jewish, and her ancestors immigrated from Ireland, Germany, and Lithuania. Pink grew up in Doylestown, where she attended Kutz Elementary School, Lenape Middle School, and Central Bucks West High School. Her father played guitar and sang songs for her, and from an early age she aspired to be a rock star. Pink has a brother, Jason Moore (born 1977).

“I decided at 15 that I didn`t want to be one of those artists that gets up and sings love songs they don`t mean. I decided that I was going to be me to the fullest extent, that my songs were going to reflect relationships I`ve had, things I`ve been through... “ - P!nk
”My dad raised me with some good advice: "Always tell the truth. Always shoot from the hip. You might not have many friends, but you`ll never have enemies, because people will always know where you`re coming from." - P!nk
"It's about being alive and feisty and not sitting down and shutting up even though people would like you to." - P!nk
