Pink or Pink is a singer whose real name is Alisha Beth Moore. In addition to performing activities, she writes lyrics for songs and acts in films. Popularity came to her in 2000, when her album Can't Take Me Home was released.
Short biography of Pink: years of youth
Alisha was born in the American city of Abington, Pennsylvania in 1979. His mother, Judith Moore, was a nurse, and his father, James Moore, Jr., was a military man who participated in the Vietnam War. She also has a younger brother - Jason Moore.
Alisha's father is a Catholic of German and Irish descent, and her mother is Jewish, as her ancestors are immigrants from Germany, Lithuania and Ireland.
At the age of 10, misfortune happens in the biography of singer Pink - her parents file for divorce.
The girl’s childhood passed in Doylestown County, where she went to the primary school of Kutz, then to the secondary institution - Lenape and to the higher - Central Bucks West High School.
From her earliest years, Pink dreamed of being a rock star, and when her strong vocal voice showed up, the chances of reaching a dream increased a hundredfold. In addition, her father also had a love of music: he played the guitar and performed compositions for his precious daughter.
Despite the fact that Alisha had been developing her voice since childhood, she was not lucky to catch asthma at an early age, which interfered strongly with both health and the creative process.
In her teens, her way of expressing her feelings was to write poetry, some of which her mother called "introspective and sometimes nervous."
The first serious attempt to appear on the stage with Pink was at school, when she joined a group called Middleground, competing with the team of The Jetsists. But when the second won, the first soon disintegrated.
The pseudonym "Pink" in the biography was fixed to her from a young age. You might think that she got it because of her favorite shade of hair, but in fact the reasons for the nickname were the constant embarrassment and blush of the girl. Another theory says that a similar name was given to her by friends in honor of the hero of Mr. Pink of the movie "Mad Dogs" Quentin Tarantino.
An interesting fact about Pink: her idols are Madonna and Janice Joplin. According to the artist, in her childhood she considered herself the daughter of the first.
