When did singer Alecia Moore change her name to Pink?
Alecia Moore becomes Pink Meanwhile, Reid noticed Alecia’s efforts and instead signed her to a solo deal. Alecia received her GED from high school by then and, although she spent one year attending Moore College of Art & Design, by April 2000, Alecia Moore opted to drop out of school, took the moniker Pink, and released Can’t Take Me Home. The album had a strong R&B flare and went double platinum, and garnered Pink a Billboard Award for Best New Female Artist. Then, in 2001, Pink teamed up with Lil’ Kim, Mya, Missy Elliott, and Christina Aguilera for the remake of Patti Labelle’s 1975 classic hit, “Lady Maramalade.” Pink and the other ladies won a Grammy Award for Best Pop Collaboration with Vocals.

Alecia Moore was born on September 8, 1979. She is the daughter of James and Judy Moore. James played guitar and sang songs for the young Alecia, who vowed from the earliest that she would become a rock star someday. She is better known as Pink, a pop star who gained prominence in early January of 2000. Pink began her career as an R&B and hip-hop musician, with no real control over her sound or her image, which included bright pink hair. Her first album, Can’t Take Me Home, was a modest success, due to the huge pop and rhythmic radio hit singles “There U Go” (hit #3 in July of 2000) and “Most Girls” (#2, in November 2000). The album’s third single, “You Make Me Sick” was released towards the end of 2000, and also become a top 10 pop hit in early 2001 (it peaked at number 3 in February of 2001), thanks in part to its being featured in the movie Save The Last Dance.
