P!nk: The Fight in Her Soul

The Spark: Alecia Moore—P!nk—found music as her war cry. Growing up rough in Pennsylvania, she turned pain into power, singing to survive abusive homes and a near-overdose at 15. It was defiance, a middle finger to the world, that lit her fuse.

The Story: Born in ‘79, P!nk clawed from church choirs to R&B groups like Choice before going solo. Can’t Take Me Home (2000) was her start, but M!ssundaztood (2001) was her soul laid bare. I’ve shot her mid-air at stadium gigs, pink hair whipping, voice raw. She’s a circus rebel—acrobatics, anthems, motherhood with Carey Hart since 2006. Twenty years in, she’s still untamed.

Bands: Solo, briefly Choice.

Bandmates: N/A—Choice fizzled early.

Relationships: Married Carey Hart after a rocky split and reunion; her flirty friendship with Linda Perry’s made headlines.

Screen Time: Happy Feet Two, Thanks for Sharing, The Ellen Show guest spots.

Awards: Three Grammys, MTV Video Vanguard (2017), Hollywood Walk of Fame star (2019).

Biggest Songs:

• “Get the Party Started” – Linda Perry.
• “Just Like a Pill” – P!nk, Dallas Austin.
• “So What” – P!nk, Max Martin, Shellback.
• “Raise Your Glass” – P!nk, Max Martin, Shellback.

Controversy: Her 2003 feud with Christina Aguilera over “Lady Marmalade” flared up—punches rumored, since cooled.

One of the most fascinating shows you’ll ever see.

Alecia Beth Moore Hart (born September 8, 1979), known professionally as Pink (stylized as P!nk), is an American singer, songwriter and actress.

During her teens, Pink was a member of the girl group Choice. Her first solo studio album, Can’t Take Me Home (2000), was certified double-platinum in the United States. The R&B-influenced album spawned two Billboard Hot 100 top-ten songs: “There You Go” and “Most Girls“. Pink gained further recognition with the collaborative single “Lady Marmalade” from the Moulin Rouge! soundtrack, which topped many charts worldwide. Pink refocused her sound to pop rock with her second studio album, Missundaztood (2001). The album sold more than 13 million copies worldwide and yielded the international hit songs “Get the Party Started“, “Don’t Let Me Get Me“, and “Just Like a Pill“.
