Alecia Beth Moore (born September 8, 1979 in Doylestown, Pennsylvania), better known by her stage name P!NK (also written as Pink), is an American singer-songwriter who gained prominence in early January of 2000. She is most often recognized by her unique, unorthodox fashion sense and soulful sound. Named #12 in the UK Music Hall of Fame of the 21st century, her vocal skills have often been compared to that of the late Janis Joplin, whom Pink cites as one of her idols. She is the daughter of James and Judy Moore, and is of Irish and German descent on her father's side, and of Lithuanian descent on her mother's. Her father played guitar and sang songs for young Alecia as she grew up, who aspired from early age that she would one day become a rock star.
