Linda Perry is a famous singer and musician. Most popular as a soloist of 4 Non Blondes. She is also known as a professional sound engineer and talented producer.
A family
Linda's father is Portuguese and her mother is Brazilian. The singer's mother was a professional designer and no less successful model, and it was these talents that Linda adopted. Linda's family was large - in addition to her, the family had six other children - one sister and five brothers. And each of them influenced Linda, so in the end she decided to make music. Also, the fact that Linda's father played the piano and guitar played on the passion for music. Thanks to him, Linda began to play the guitar.
4 Non Blondes
At the age of 15, Linda Perry decided to quit school - illness prevented her from studying normally. Therefore, after studying 9 classes and not receiving a proper education, the girl went to San Francisco in 1989. From there, her true love for music began.
She lived in a room near the pizzeria and sang at home. After that, she began to sing along the way to her job, and when they began to advise her to promote talent, she discovered 4 Non Blondes.
Rockstar
A few years later, when Linda and the group 4 Non Blondes became famous and were already touring, Linda was almost at the top of her career. However, she soon left the group for a solo career. She released her first solo album very hard, spending her money on promotion and getting nothing.
As a result, Linda, disillusioned with show business, created her own label, which should help her improve her career. She soon created the Rockstar label, which became popular with several groups of people in San Francisco.
Album After Hours, which became the second album, was released in 1999. That is, along with the promotion of the label, the girl was also engaged in a solo career. However, the career of a producer still came first. The rest of the time she literally lived in a recording studio or in an office. And for the song Beautiful by Christina Aguilera she was nominated for "Song of the Year" and "Grammy".
Pink
Linda Perry also collaborated with Pink (singer). Pink helped the girl to produce one of the albums. For 2-3 months, the two lived together in Perry's apartment, where they created songs and experimented with voice acting and sound almost daily. In this they were helped by Scott Scorch and Dellas Austinn. As a result, an album called Missundaztood appeared in 2001. After its release, Linda began to receive many offers.
Subsequent years
After that, Linda began supporting many more albums of many bands and artists, and musical genres ranged from pop to heavy metal. Linda said that she would not continue to sing either in the group or solo. This is the part of her life that has become a thing of the past, so now she only plays musical instruments at home.
Personal life
When Linda was with 4 Non Blondes, the song lesbi appeared on one of the albums. This song convinced the audience that Linda was a representative of sex minorities. Linda later confirmed this by starting dating in 2009 with a girl named Clementine Ford.
After 3 years, Linda met Sarah Gilbert (Lesley Winkle from TBV). Their friendship grew into love, and on March 30, 2014, the girls got married. They are now raising a son named Rhodes, who was born on February 25, 2015.
