Alecia Beth Hart Moore (September 8, 1979), known professionally as Pink (stylized as P!nk), is an American singer and songwriter. She is known for her rock-influenced pop songs and powerful voice.

At 15, Pink formed the short-lived girl group Choice, who signed with LaFace Records in 1995, although they disbanded without any major releases. Her first solo studio album, Can’t Take Me Home (2000) was released to moderate success and received double platinum certification by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA). Produced by label boss Babyface and influenced by contemporary R&B, the album spawned two Billboard Hot 100-top ten singles: “There You Go” and “Most Girls”. Pink gained further recognition for her 2001 collaborative single “Lady Marmalade” (with Christina Aguilera, Lil’ Kim, and Mýa), which was released for the Moulin Rouge! soundtrack and peaked atop 13 international charts including the US, and earned her first Grammy Award for Best Pop Collaboration with Vocals. Pink shifted to pop rock with her second studio album, Missundaztood (2001), which sold over 13 million copies worldwide and yielded three top-ten singles: “Get the Party Started”, “Don’t Let Me Get Me”, and “Just Like a Pill”.
