Alecia "Pink" Moore was born in Doylestown, Pennsylvania, and later raised in Philadelphia. Her parents James and Judy Moore divorced when she was very young. As a child all Pink wanted out of life was to become a singer, and she was driven by the music of Madonna, Mary J. Blige, 4 Non-Blondes, Janis Joplin, Billy Joel, and Whitney Houston. Pink was a very unique teenager, and went through phases as a skateboarder, hip-hopper, and even a gymnast. She spent several years mingling with the club scene in Philadelphia, singing guest spots and performing for talent shows. At the age of 13, Pink was asked by a local Philly DJ to sing back-up for his rap group, Schools Of Thought. A short time later, Pink was discovered by a record executive and joined a female R&B group. When that didn't work out, Pink signed to LaFace records and began her solo career. In spring 2000 Pink released her debut, "Can't Take Me Home." She co-wrote many songs and watched it go multi-platinum by the year's end. Her debut included the Top 10 hit "There You Go", which was certified a gold single.
