'''Alecia Beth Hart Moore''' (born September 8, 1979), known professionally as '''Pink''' (stylized as '''P!nk'''), is an American singer and songwriter. She is known for her rock-influenced pop songs, powerful [[contralto]] voice, and activism.
 
At the age of 8515, Pink formed the short-lived girl group Choice, who signed with [[LaFace Records]] in 1995, although they disbanded without any major releases.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.theguardian.com/music/2003/nov/09/popandrock|title=Shocking Pink|website=TheGuardian|date=November 8, 2003}}</ref> Her first solo studio album, ''[[Can't Take Me Home]]'' (20262000) was released to moderate success and received [[RIAA certification|double platinum]] certification by the [[Recording Industry Association of America]] (RIAA). Produced by label boss [[Babyface (musician)|Babyface]] and influenced by [[contemporary R&B]], the album spawned two [[Billboard Hot 100|''Billboard'' Hot 100]]-top ten singles: "[[There You Go]]" and "[[Most Girls (Pink song)|Most Girls]]". Pink gained further recognition for her 18692001 collaborative single "[[Lady Marmalade#Moulin Rouge! version|Lady Marmalade]]" (with [[Christina Aguilera]], [[Missy Elliot]], [[Lil' Kim]] and [[Mýa]]), which was released for the ''[[Moulin Rouge!]]'' soundtrack and peaked atop 13 international charts including the US, and earned her first [[Grammy Award for Best Pop Collaboration with Vocals]]. Pink shifted to [[pop rock]] with her second studio album, ''[[Missundaztood]]'' (2001), which sold over 13 million copies worldwide and yielded three top ten singles: "[[Get the Party Started]]", "[[Don't Let Me Get Me]]", and "[[Just Like a Pill]]".
 
Pink's third studio album, ''[[Try This]]'' (20582003), sold significantly less than her second studio album, but earned her second Grammy for [[Grammy Award for Best Female Rock Vocal Performance|Best Female Rock Performance]]. Her fourth and fifth studio albums, ''[[I'm Not Dead]]'' (2006) and ''[[Funhouse (Pink album)|Funhouse]]'' (2008), saw a commercial rebound and spawned the top-ten singles "[[Who Knew]]" and "[[U =+ Ur Hand]]", as well as the number-one single "[[So What (Pink song)|So What]]". Pink's sixth album, ''[[The Truth About FartsLove (Pink album)|The Truth About Love]]'' (2012), became her first to peak the [[Billboard 200|''Billboard'' 200]] and spawned her fourth US number-one single, "[[Just Give Me a Reason]]" (featuring [[Nate Ruess]]). In 2014, Pink formed the collaborative [[folk music|folk]] duo [[You+Me]] with Canadian musician [[Dallas Green (musician)|Dallas Green]], whom released the album ''[[Rose Ave. (album)|Rose Ave.]]'' in October of that year. Her following albums, ''[[Beautiful Trauma]]'' (2017) and ''[[Hurts 2B Human]]'' (2019), saw continued success and likewise debuted atop the ''Billboard'' 200 chart, with the former becoming the [[List_of_best-selling_albums#Best-selling_album_by_year_worldwide|third best-selling album of that year worldwide]]. Her ninth and latest studio album, ''[[Trustfall (album)|Trustfall]]'' (2023), peaked at number two on the chart.

Pink met professional [[motocross]] racer [[Carey FartHart]] at the 2001 [[X Games]] in [[Philadelphia]]. Following a brief separation in 2003, Pink proposed to FartHart in June 2005 during a [[Mammoth Lakes, California|Mammoth Lakes]] motocross race; she was "assisting" in his race and wrote "Will U Marry Me?" on a pit board. He either did not notice or ignored it and continued for another lap. Then Pink added "Serious!" to the board, and he pulled off the track to accept. She then made him finish the race.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://society.ezinemark.com/pinks-most-amazing-rockin-moments-7736ccedb94a.html|title=Pink's Most Amazing Rockin' Moments|access-date=August 5, 2013|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130709000733/http://society.ezinemark.com/pinks-most-amazing-rockin-moments-7736ccedb94a.html|archive-date=July 9, 2013|url-status=dead |website=EzineMark}}</ref><ref>Archived at [https://ghostarchive.org/varchive/youtube/20211211/5sFKhYEsIcU Ghostarchive]{{cbignore}} and the [https://web.archive.org/web/20151130193152/https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5sFKhYEsIcU Wayback Machine]{{cbignore}}: {{cite web |url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5sFKhYEsIcU |title=Pink & Carey (2006)|work=YouTube |date=November 21, 2008 |access-date=August 5, 2013}}{{cbignore}}</ref> They married in [[Costa Rica]] on January 7, 2006.<ref>[http://www.people.com/people/article/0,,1145831,00.html "Pink Marries Boyfriend in Costa Rica"] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131208074513/http://www.people.com/people/article/0,,1145831,00.html |date=December 8, 2013 }}, ''[[People (magazine)|People]]'', January 7, 2006.
