Pink childhood biography

Singer Pink is best known for her edgy pop music. She delivered a strong debut album with Can't Take Me Home in , and achieved superstardom as a co-vocalist on "Lady Marmalade," from the Moulin Rouge! Some claim that Pink changed the scope of pop music and paved the way for artists like Katy Perry and Lady Gaga but has received little recognition for it.

Pink, as she's otherwise known, gets her name from the movie Reservoir Dogs , a film she saw as a teenager and whose character Mr. Pink is someone her friends all agreed she resembled. Pink was the second child born to Jim and Judy Moore. She experienced a largely typical middle-class life in a suburb of Doylestown, Pennsylvania.

Her parents' tense relationship, however, caused the couple to divorce when Pink was three. Their split and the subsequent demise of the marriage sparked, in part, a rebellious attitude from Pink. Instead, Pink found solace in music, and as early as the age of 13 she was navigating the complicated Philadelphia club scene. By the time she was 14, she was already an experienced vocalist and dancer, and started to write her own songs.

She also had a regular singing gig every Friday night at a Philly nightclub. But it proved to be a hard life for her to manage, as she was swallowed by a world of drugs she nearly overdosed at the age of 15 and petty crime. She eventually dropped out of high school before returning to earn her G. It was apparent, however, that Pink had a talent for music.

The group, known as Basic Instinct, welcomed Pink into the fold. Despite a record deal and plenty of studio time, the band never could find traction.
