what is pink's real name?

P!nk is one of the biggest stars in the world and she's about to about to start her 'Summer Carnival Tour'. She's a very talented singer and songwriter, with hits like 'So What', 'Raise Your Glass' and 'Get The Party Started' all riding high in the charts. Along with music, she has also tried her hand acting and winemaking, buying her very own vineyard in 2013!

P!nk has now released her ninth album 'Trustfall', which features three songs she has shared with her fans, 'Never Gonna Not Dance Again', and 'Trustfall', along with 'When I Get There', which is a tribute to her late dad.

Now, let's take a look through everything you need to know about the singer - like her real name and why she's called P!nk...

Although we all know her as Pink, stylised as P!nk, her real name is Alecia Beth Moore. Born on 8th September 1979 to nurse Judy Moore (née Kugel) and insurance salesman Jim Moore. Pink is just 5ft 4in and surprisingly says her favourite colour is black.

She started using her stage name Pink in the clubs, a nickname that she had apparently had for quite some time. While there are a few stories surrounding the reasoning behind her name, many seem to stem back to her childhood when she was bullied and kids pulled down her trousers. Because of this humiliation she turned 'pink' and the name stuck.

According to a report, it was soon after that the film Reservoir Dogs came out and Mr Pink was the one with the 'smart mouth', so the name took on a different meaning.

Pink's birthday is 8th September 1979, and is 43-years-old at the time of writing. When a Twitter user trolled P!nk over her age in 2018, she had a brilliant comeback to the tweet, receiving praise online from her loyal fanbase.

Described as ‘her most sensational show yet’, the pop superstar performed many of her very popular songs, as well as having special guest Vance Joy, known for his top 10 hit in 2014, ‘Riptide’.

If you've ever seen Pink live you'll know that she puts on an amazing show, often using ropes in her performance to hang from the ceiling! She works hard at keeping her body in shape for her performances telling Food and Wine magazine in 2015: "I work out four and a half hours a day: a two-hour show, plus yoga, cardio and a rig check with the flying apparatuses."

In 2021, Pink teamed up with 'Human' megastar Rag 'n' Bone Man to bring an epic collaboration on the track ‘Anywhere Away From Here’.

Both of the artists teased the release, leading up to its drop on 9th April. Sharing a snap of the pair to her Instagram, Pink wrote, 'I finally kept a secret. I love you @ragnboneman and I can’t wait for everyone to hear us together.... 4.9.2021' (sic).

Yes! Pink has her own vineyard, producing several types of wine. The label is called Two Wolves and according to the website it currently produces Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon and Petit Verdot. Pink bought the vineyard back 2013, but during the pandemic she decided to concentrate on her organic wine brand further.

Speaking to WSJ Magazine at the time, Pink said: "I have this touring life, my home life and then I make wine. The workload is huge, it’s just me and another woman who make all of this wine. I’m just a full-time mama during all of that."

She went on to say that each harvest they make 114 cases of the popular wine, which usually sell out in a day!

In October 2022 P!nk appeared in some of the vineyard's social posts, captioning the photos: 'Our very last pic of harvest 2022. It has been a challenging year for some, probably most of us. But by paying attention to every detail, resting on our laurels a bit because of our intentional farming, we have had an exceptional year here at Two Wolves. Across-the-board there was a light crop this year, and an intense week of heat shut our vines down, But because for us it’s quality over quantity, we were able to wait it out, and it looks like we will be fermenting through Thanksgiving. Never a dull moment. And that’s what keeps us on our toes. Happy Happy Holidays. With love from all of us to all of you. Shout out to all my badass women in wine 🍷'.

Pink is married to a former professional freestyle motocross racer, Carey Hart, who she met at the 2001 X Games in Philadelphia.

Four years later she proposed to Carey by holding up a sign that said 'Will You Marry Me? I'm serious!' as he raced. He missed it the first time he went around, but as soon as he noticed it, he pulled over and said 'yes'! The pair married in Costa Rica in 2006 and despite a rocky patch in 2008, which resulted in the iconic and award winning 'So What', they had marriage counselling and are still together.

In January 2022 they celebrated their 16th wedding anniversary.

The P!nk Sheet is the singer's bedtime story on the Calm app. Pink posted about the new venture on Instagram saying: 'Sleep doesn’t always come easy, but with @Calm Kids Sleep Stories my kids are less afraid of the dark and of being alone. I hope my Sleep Stories can help kids’ imaginations run wild as they drift off to peaceful rest 💞 Link in bio!'.

This announcement left fans very excited, however many were calling for the pop star to do an adult version of the bedtime story. Pink has yet to comment on this suggestion.

Pink and Carey have two children together, Willow Sage Hart born in 2011 and Jameson Moon Hart in 2016.

Speaking to Hello! magazine about her daughter's unusual name, Pink explained: "I grew up near one (willow tree). It is the most flexible tree and nothing can break it – no wind, no elements. It can bend and withstand anything. I love that sentiment and I want that for her."

She went on to say, "Sage is cleansing and sacred and it sounds great with Willow."

The singer had been vegetarian since she was 15-years-old, however when she was pregnant with her first child she started to eat chicken again, "She (her daughter) just demanded chicken wings and fingers!" the singer said.

When it came to naming her second child, Jameson Moon Hart, her inspiration for his unusual name was very different. "My dad’s name is James, and my brother’s name is Jason," she told Access Hollywood, continuing, "Carey and I are both Irish, Carey’s middle name is Jason, and Jameson – we like whiskey. That’s a no brainer."

In 2019, Pink revealed that she would not be posting anymore photos of her children during an interview with Ellen DeGeneres.

Like many celebrities, Pink has a lot of tattoos. She currently has more than 20 tattoos including a barcode on the back of her neck, and one dedicated to her late dog saying, 'Sir Corky Moore 89-03', a West Highland terrier who died in 2003.

On her left forearm she has a tattoo dedicated to another dog. Elvis was her bulldog who drowned in her swimming pool. The tattoo is a verse from the Bible which reads: ‘A time to weep, a time to laugh, a time to mourn, a time to dance, sleep in peace my darling, I release you’.

Never afraid to change her image, Pink has had a variety of hairstyles from bright pink to black and blonde, mohawks to braids - she's had everything.

Pink's third studio album, Try This (2003), sold significantly less than her second studio album, but it earned her the Grammy Award for Best Female Rock Vocal Performance. She returned to the top of record charts with her fourth and fifth studio albums, I'm Not Dead (2006) and Funhouse (2008), which spawned the top-ten entries "Who Knew" and "U + Ur Hand", as well as the number-one single "So What". Pink's sixth studio album, The Truth About Love (2012), was her first Billboard 200 number-one album and spawned her fourth US number-one single, "Just Give Me a Reason". In 2014, Pink recorded a collaborative album, Rose Ave., with Canadian musician Dallas Green under a folk music duo named You+Me. Her next studio albums, Beautiful Trauma (2017) and Hurts 2B Human (2019), both debuted at atop the Billboard 200 chart, with the former becoming the world's third best-selling album of the year.

Alecia Beth Moore was born on September 8, 1979, in Doylestown, Pennsylvania, to emergency room nurse, Judith Moore (née Kugel) and insurance salesman, James Moore. She has described herself as an "Irish-German-Lithuanian-Jew", and identifies as Jewish (her mother is Jewish). Although a healthy baby at birth, she quickly developed asthma that plagued her through her early years. When Pink was a toddler, her parents began having marital problems and divorced before she was 10.

Pink was trained as a competitive gymnast between the ages 4 and 12. She attended Central Bucks High School West. In high school, Pink joined her first band, Middleground, but it disbanded upon losing a Battle of the Bands competition. As a teenager, she wrote lyrics as an outlet for her feelings, and her mother commented, "Her initial writings were always very introspective. Some of it was very black, and very deep, almost worrisome."

Pink began performing in Philadelphia clubs when she was about 14 years old. She adopted her nickname "Pink" as her stage name around this time. She has given different explanations about how she came to be given that nickname, which she has had since she was a child. At 14, she was convinced to audition to become a member of the all-female group Basic Instinct, and earned a spot in the lineup. Ultimately, the group disbanded without releasing any material.

At 16, Pink and two other teenage girls, Sharon Flanagan and Chrissy Conway, formed the R&B group Choice. A copy of their first song, "Key to My Heart", was sent to LaFace Records in Atlanta, Georgia, where L.A. Reid overheard it and arranged for the group to fly there so he could see them perform. After that, he signed them to a record deal. Since the three girls were under 18 at the time, their parents had to cosign the contract. The group relocated to Atlanta and recorded an album, which was never released, but "Key to My Heart" appeared on the soundtrack to the 1996 film Kazaam. During a Christmas party, Reid gave Pink an ultimatum: go solo or go home. Choice disbanded in 1998.

After Choice disbanded, Pink signed a recording contract with LaFace Records and began working on her first solo album with producers such as Babyface, Kandi Burruss and Tricky Stewart. Her first solo single, "There You Go", was released in February 2000 and became her first top-ten hit on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, where it peaked at number seven. Internationally, the song also charted inside the top ten in Australia, New Zealand, and the United Kingdom. In April, Pink's album, Can't Take Me Home, was released to commercial success. It peaked 26 on the Billboard 200 chart, and was certified double platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) for two million units shipped in the United States. It also went platinum in the United Kingdom and multi-platinum in Australia and Canada, while selling over four million copies worldwide. Critical reception to the album was mixed. The album's second single, "Most Girls", peaked at number four on the Billboard Hot 100 and became her first chart-topping single in Australia. "You Make Me Sick" was released as the final single and reached number 33 on the Hot 100.

Pink won the trophy for Female New Artist of the Year at the 2000 Billboard Music Awards. She was billed as a supporting act on the North American leg of NSYNC's No Strings Attached Tour throughout the summer of 2000. In 2001, Pink, alongside singers Christina Aguilera and Mýa as well as rapper Lil' Kim, performed a cover of "Lady Marmalade" for the soundtrack of the film Moulin Rouge!. In the US it became the most successful airplay-only single in history, as well as Pink's first No. 1 single. The success of the single was helped by its music video, which was popular on music channels and won the MTV Video Music Award for Video of the Year. The song won Pink's first Grammy Award for Best Pop Collaboration with Vocals.

Tired of being marketed as another cookie cutter pop act, as well as eager both to be seen as a more serious songwriter and musician and to perform the type of music she wanted to, Pink took her sound in a new direction and sought more artistic or creative control during the recording of her second album, Missundaztood. She recruited Linda Perry, former singer of 4 Non Blondes (one of Pink's favorite groups in her teenage years). Pink moved into Perry's Los Angeles home where the pair spent several months writing songs for the album. Perry co-wrote and co-produced the album with Dallas Austin and Scott Storch, and according to VH1's Driven program, Antonio "LA" Reid of LaFace Records was not initially content with the new music Pink was making. The album, named Missundaztood because of Pink's belief that people had a wrong image of her, was released in November 2001.

"Get the Party Started" was released as the lead single and peaked at number four on the Billboard Hot 100. It also became a worldwide hit, reaching number one in Australia, Ireland, New Zealand, Romania, and Spain, as well as spending four weeks at the top of the European Hot 100 Singles chart. At the 2002 MTV Video Music Awards, its music video won in the categories of Best Female Video and Best Dance Video. The album's other singles—"Don't Let Me Get Me", "Just Like a Pill", and "Family Portrait"—were also radio and chart successes, with "Just Like a Pill" becoming Pink's second number-one hit in the United Kingdom. Missundaztood remains Pink's best-selling record with over 13 million copies sold worldwide. According to the International Federation of the Phonographic Industry (IFPI), Missundaztood was the eighth best-selling album of 2002 globally. Pink won a World Music Award for Best Selling American Pop/Rock Female Artist. She was also nominated for Best Pop Vocal Album and Best Female Pop Vocal Performance at the 45th Grammy Awards. Faith Hill's 2002 album, Cry, features a song co-written by Pink and Perry ("If You're Gonna Fly Away"). In 2002, Pink headlined a tour of America, Europe and Australia, the Party Tour, as well as becoming a supporting act for Lenny Kravitz's American tour. Pink was named the Top Female Billboard 200 Artist of 2002.

Featuring electronic music artist William Orbit, it became Pink's first single to miss the top 40 on Billboard's Hot 100 chart, although it was a hit in Europe and in Australia. It was later included on non-US editions of Pink's third album, Try This, which was released on November 11, 2003. Eight of the 13 tracks were co-written with Tim Armstrong of the band Rancid. Linda Perry was featured on the album as a writer and musician. Despite the album reaching the top ten on album charts in the US, in Canada, in the UK, and in Australia, sales were considerably lower than those of Missundaztood. However, it did go platinum in the US. The singles "Trouble" and "God Is a DJ" did not reach the US top 40 but did reach the top ten in other countries, and "Last to Know" was released as a single outside North America.

In 2005, Pink collaborated with Lisa Marie Presley on the track "Shine", released on Presley's second album Now What. Pink took a break to write the songs for her fourth album, I'm Not Dead, which she said she titled as such because "It's about being alive and feisty and not sitting down and shutting up even though people would like you to." Pink worked with producers Max Martin, Billy Mann, Christopher Rojas, Butch Walker, Lukasz Gottwald, and Josh Abraham on the album. The album's release through LaFace Records in April 2006 was a substantial success throughout the world, particularly in Australia.

Pink has named Madonna and Janis Joplin as her biggest musical influences. In a 2000 interview with MTV, Pink said that during her childhood she used to think that she was Madonna's daughter, saying: "I've always been the type of person that followed Madonna like a lost puppy. I didn't speak to my mother for a year, because I was sure she adopted me." She stated, "Madonna has always been an inspiration for me... I was a fan right from the first time I heard 'Holiday'." Pink also won her first talent show singing Madonna's "Oh Father". Of Janis Joplin, Pink said "She was so inspiring by singing blues music when it wasn't culturally acceptable for white women, and she wore her heart on her sleeve. She was so witty and charming and intelligent, but she also battled an ugly-duckling syndrome. I would love to play her in a movie." In a tribute performance on her Try This Tour, Pink called Joplin "a woman who inspired me when everyone else ... didn't!"

As a child, she admired the leader of 4 Non Blondes, Linda Perry, whom she would later track down and form a close relationship with on her second album. She said:

Throughout her career, Pink has received acclaim from critics for her powerful singing abilities. Pink is a contralto, whose voice has been described as "raspy", "husky", and "distinctive". NBC News music critic Maura Johnston said that, at times, "the sheer power of her alto" has been overshadowed by her skills as an aerialist. James Montgomery of MTV calls her "a deceptively good singer ... who can out-sing almost anyone". The Guardian describes her voice as "prodigious". Ann Powers of the Los Angeles Times labeled her "a powerhouse vocalist". Pink has also been noted for her "raw", "soulful" voice and her ability to emote. The Inquirer defined her voice as "husky" and "gutsy", further complimenting her for developing into a "powerfully emotive vocalist", while comparing her to Janis Joplin. The Star Tribune commends her by writing, "Her slightly raspy, slightly soulful voice made you feel the dysfunction in 'Family Portrait', the longing of 'Who Knew' and the empowerment in 'Perfect'." CNN has said that Pink is known for singing "with the right level of emotion". Fellow artist Kelly Clarkson has called Pink's voice "the best of our generation". Troy L. Smith, writing for Cleveland.com, called Pink one of her generation's most underrated vocalists, writing that she is capable of "sing anything, from rock and pop to folk and R&B." Smith named her 2006's second best vocalist, runner-up to Carrie Underwood.

Aside from her music, Pink has been noted for her fashion style, such as the "adventurous" hairstyles she has worn, which have ranged from fluorescent spikes to pink-streaked dreadlocks to a pitch-black skater cut. Regarding her style, she told InStyle, "I'm eclectic. I'm a tomboy, but I'm kind of a hippie and kind of a gangster ... I don't know if that's a good thing, but it is my thing."

Pink is an animal-rights activist and a prominent campaigner for PETA, contributing her voice toward causes such as the protest against KFC. In conjunction with PETA, she criticized the Australian wool industry over its use of mulesing. In January 2007, she stated that she had been misled by PETA about mulesing and that she had not done enough research before lending her name to the campaign. Her campaigning led to a headlining concert called PAW (Party for Animals Worldwide) in Cardiff, Wales, on August 21, 2007. In 2015, she posed nude for PETA's "I'd Rather Go Naked Than Wear Fur" campaign.

Pink is also outspoken about LGBT rights and supports same-sex marriage. In October 2012, Pink told The Advocate that she does not define her sexual orientation saying, "I never felt the need to."

Pink is also involved with several charities, including Human Rights Campaign, ONE Campaign, The Prince's Trust, New York Restoration Project, Run for the Cure Foundation, Save the Children, Take Back the Night, UNICEF and World Animal Protection. As of May 2008, Pink has been officially recognized as an advocate for RSPCA Australia. On February 16, 2009, Pink announced she was donating $250,000 to the Red Cross Bushfire Appeal to aid the victims of the bushfires that swept through the Australian state of Victoria earlier that month. Pink stated that she wanted to make "a tangible expression of support". Pink also donated money to Autism Speaks.

In August 2012, Pink became a spokesmodel for CoverGirl, featuring in a fall 2013 advertising campaign themed "beauty with an edge".

On August 21, 2018, Pink stopped her concert in Brisbane for a grieving fan. A girl named Leah lost her mother one month prior to the concert, and she and her family hung up signs all around the concert, saying "My name is Leah – I'm 14 years old. I lost my beautiful Mum last month. I would LOVE a hug... Please!" The signs grabbed the attention of Pink.

Pink has been credited for breaking boundaries and pushing the envelope throughout her career. She is regarded as the "most trailblazing artist" of her pop generation. Robert Hilburn of the Los Angeles Times says, "Pink stood up for her music, broke the music industry's mold and scored a breakout hit, challenging a school of teen singers to find their own sounds as well." He adds, " also started a race among other teen pop stars like Christina Aguilera to add substance to their own sound." Ann Powers refers to her as a "powerhouse vocalist", stating her mix of rebellion, emotional rawness, humor, and "infectious" dance beats created "a model for the mashup approach of latter-day divas such as Katy Perry, Kesha, and Rihanna." Rob Sheffield of Rolling Stone commented: "I think people respond to her sense of independence and dedication. It inspires people... This is a prolific pop artist who is sometimes famous and successful, sometimes obscure, who nonetheless keeps making her own kind of music."

James Montgomery of MTV describes her as "a fabulously fearless pop artist" who can "out-sing almost anyone out there. She can out-crazy Gaga or Lily. She's the total pop-star package, everything you'd want in a singer/entertainer/icon. And still, she remains oddly off the radar. Such is the price of busting borders". Entertainment Weekly said: "She essentially invented the whole modern wave of Pop Diva Domination: You can draw a straight line from "Get This Party Started" to Katy Perry, Kesha, pre-messianic Lady Gaga, and post-weird Rihanna." Glamour Magazine wrote: "When Pennsylvania-born Alecia Moore debuted in 2000, pop was dominated by long-locked blonds like Britney Spears, Christina Aguilera and Jessica Simpson. Pink changed the game. Without her, the last 13 years of big-voiced, tough chick music is hard to imagine."

Following her performance at the American Music Awards of 2012, LZ Granderson of CNN wrote:

British soul singer Adele considers Pink's performance at Brixton Academy in London as one of "the most defining moments" in her life, saying "It was the Missundaztood record, so I was about 13 or 14. I had never heard, being in the room, someone sing like that live. I remember sort of feeling like I was in a wind tunnel, her voice just hitting me. It was incredible."

Pink's work has inspired many other artists, including Christina Aguilera, Demi Lovato, Kelly Clarkson, Katy Perry, Tegan and Sara, Ashley Tisdale, Alessia Cara, Victoria Justice, Adele, Julia Michaels, Ben Hopkins of Pwr Bttm Dua Lipa, Bebe Rexha, Halsey, Anne Marie, Kehlani, and Daya.
