Pink – singer’s biography and personal life
Pink is a popular American singer. The singer became widely known for the tracks “Family Portrait”, “Try”, “Lady Marmalade”, “Just Give Me a Reason”, “Today’s The Day” and “Trustfall“.
CHILDHOOD AND ADOLESCENCE
Pink (Alisha Beth Moore) was born in the fall of 1979 in Pennsylvania, USA. This is also where the star’s childhood years were spent. When Alisha was a teenager, her family moved to Wisconsin. This is where Pink went to school.
The singer has Jewish roots on her mother’s side and German-Irish on her father’s side. The girl has a brother named Jason. Members of the Moore family are Catholics.
Despite her rebellious image, as a child Alisha was a very shy child. She constantly blushed, from which came the unpleasant nickname – Pink (translated as “pink”). However, there are several versions of the origin of the star’s stage name.
Musical talent manifested itself in the girl very early. Even in elementary school, the little girl firmly decided to become a rock star. It is likely that Alisha inherited her musical abilities from her father, who played the guitar perfectly. The man often sang with his daughter, accompanying her on the musical instrument.
As a teenager, Alisha developed her own musical taste. She listened to songs by Madonna, Janis Joplin, Billy Joel and Whitney Houston. However, the young performer’s favorite was Madonna. The girl even thought that the pop star was her biological mother.
Alisha had a beautiful and strong voice from childhood. Not only did she sing beautifully, but she also began composing poetry early on. The star made her stage debut at the age of 14.
MUSIC CAREER
With the future career Pink was determined early. Already in her youth, she founded her own music band called “Choice”. Along with Alisha, Chrissy Conway and Sharon Flanagan joined the group. The band soon released the track “Key to My Heart.”
Unfortunately, the band broke up after a few years. Pink decided to try her hand at solo work. It was then that Alisha decided to take a sonorous pseudonym. The girl’s choice fell on her old childhood nickname Pink.
At first, the artist performed backing vocals for more popular performers. The real breakthrough in the singer’s career was the track “There You Go”. The R&B song quickly conquered American music lovers and Alisha got her first fans.
The singer presented her debut album in 2000. A year later the artist’s discography was enriched by the new record. This time, the album was recorded in the pop-rock style. The record titled Missundaztood included such popular tracks as “Just Like a Pill”, “Don’t Let Me Get Me”, “Family Portrait”. The album quickly became a top seller. In total about 15 million disks were sold in different countries of the world.
In 2003 the star pleased her fans with the new album called “Try This”, for one song from this album the singer won the “Grammy” award.
The young star’s creative biography developed rapidly. Interestingly, Pink soon decided to try herself as an actress. She took part in a film called “Ski To The Max”. In this picture, Alisha played herself.
Two years later, Alisha again starred in the film. She played a rock star in the film “Rollerball”, and then took part in the TV series “Charlie’s Angels”.
The artist’s creativity was not limited to studio albums. She released a collection of hits, which included the best and most popular tracks of the star.
In 2012, Pink’s new compilation album went on sale. The main track of the album, titled “Blow Me (One Last Kiss)” was incredibly popular. The track entered the top 5 songs in the American charts. The album sold out in huge numbers, becoming the sixth best selling music album in the world.
Individual songs of the performer were also very popular. The song “Try” managed to enter the top ten songs according to Billboard Hot 100.
In 2014, the performer decided on a new creative duet. She recorded a joint album with Dallas Green, the vocalist of the band “City And Colour”.
A year later, the artist’s discography included the track “Today’s The Day”. It is interesting that Pink recorded this single especially for the popular comedy TV project “The Ellen Show”. With this composition, Alisha performed on the first episode of the new season of the program.
In 2016, Pink gave fans a new gift in the form of the track “Just Like Fire”. This composition was recorded especially for the movie “Alice in Wonderland”.

In 2023, the performer presented her new album “Trustfall”. The album also immediately became the leader of the American chart.
PERSONAL LIFE
Pink’s personal life can hardly be called easy. Since her youth, the singer had problems with drugs, she smoked a lot. Already at the age of 15, the girl took an overdose. This event forced the aspiring performer to look at her own life differently. She realized that she did not want to become a victim of drugs. Alisha also decided to refuse smoking, she was afraid to spoil her voice.
Giving up all bad habits, the artist started a new life. At the moment the star is a vegetarian, she advocates humane treatment of animals. Because of this, Pink had many conflicts with other popular personalities. The performer spoke out against the traditional royal fun – fox hunting. Pink criticized even Beyoncé, who always differed by her special love for natural fur.
Speaking of romantic relationships, the main man in the life of the performer can be called a racer named Cary Hart. The future couple met at motorcycle races – the sympathy for motorcycles was mutual. Pink sat on a motorcycle for the first time at the age of two, and still adores this mode of transport. More than once the performer came to the award ceremonies on her favorite “Harley”.
In 2005 Alisha began to appear at the races, in which Cary took part. Pink herself proposed to her lover. The girl was holding a sign in her hands. On the first side was the inscription, in which Pink asked her lover to become her husband. On the second side, the girl wrote that it was not a prank. Cary happily agreed and a year later the couple were married.
After the wedding, the couple’s relationship was not unclouded. After a few years, the couple decided to separate, but the official divorce never took place. In 2009, the lovers announced a happy reunion. In 2011, the performer became pregnant. Soon she gave birth to a daughter.
The singer hid her situation from journalists for a long time. Before the birth of her daughter, Alisha already had a miscarriage, after which doctors doubted that Pink could have children.
In 2015, there was new news about Pink’s personal life. Journalists again wrote about the breakup of Alisha and Carey. It became known about the sale of the common home of the spouses. Pink even stated that she will no longer have children from her husband, as he himself is a big child.
However, the couple managed to settle their conflicts. In 2016, Pink gave birth to her second child, this time a boy. Pregnancy was hard for the star, the girl for a long time could not come back to her previous form. That year, Alisha’s weight was more than 72 kg with a height of 162 cm. Only constant exercise helped Pink to lose the extra pounds.
The artist demonstrated the return of her previous figure with pictures in a swimsuit. Alicia told in an interview that she has her own beauty secret. She does not eat at night and regularly exercises every day.
In 2018, the performer was named the most beautiful woman of the year by People magazine. Together with her son and daughter, the star star starred for the cover of the magazine. In the same issue, you could find an interview with Pink, in which she revealed the secrets of her motherhood. The woman admitted that she considers humor to be the best feature of her own character. Alisha said that it was thanks to humor that she came out a winner in many problematic situations, and also established relationships with relatives.
The former bully and epatage lover turned out to be a wonderful mother. Pink tries to spend all her free time with her children. If you look at the star’s social networks, you can immediately see, with every tenderness and care she treats her offspring. Often the woman takes her daughter and son on tour or rehearsals.
PRESENTLY
Pink continues to successfully combine her career and personal life. The artist is engaged in creativity and pleases fans with new tracks.

In the winter, the star presented an acoustic ballad titled “Cover Me In Sunshine”. The track appeared on the artist’s YouTube channel. Interestingly, Pink wrote this song together with her daughter.
