Pink is an American music artist, actress, model, entrepreneur, and philanthropist. She was born Alecia Beth Moore on September 8, 1979 in Doylestown, Pennsylvania, USA. After attending elementary school during which time she also trained as a gymnast between the ages of 4 - 12, Pink took her high school education at Central Bucks High School West in Doylestown, PA.

Her interest and pursuance of carrier as music artist is said to had began while still at high school when she joined a rather short-lived band called Middleground. With the demise of the band, Pink continued to pursue a career in music through, among others, performing in clubs in Philadelphia before joining an all-girl music group called Basic Instinct in 1993 at the age of 14. But again, like Middleground, Basic Instinct was short-lived.

Basic Instinct was dissolved a short while later, but that did not, however, deter her search for a breakthrough into the music industry. In 1995 she and two other teenage girls established R&B group called Choice. The group had very little success, releasing only one single called Key To My Heart. It was eventually dissolved in 1998.

Notwithstanding, nevertheless, after almost seven years of unsuccessful persistent attempts to penetrate the mainstream of the global music industry, Pink finally made a breakthrough in 2000. That happened after she went solo and signed a recording contract with LaFace Records, and released her first studio album Can’t Take Me the same year. The album featured her debut singles There You Go and Most Girls, both of which peaked on Billboard Hot 100. The album earned her Female New Artist of the Year Award at the 2000 Billboard Music Awards.

Singles in the album include her masterpieces Just Like A Pill, Get The Party Started, Family Portrait, and Don’t Let Me Get Me.

Missundaztood is said to have redefined Pink as a music artist, portraying her total musical revolution by which she took fully control of her artistic creativity in terms of, among others, lyric writing and dancing style, hence Pink we know today.

Pink released her third studio album Try This in 2003 that was followed by a fourth studio album I’m Not Dead about three years later in 2006.
