Linda Perry, born April 15, 1965, in Springfield, Massachusetts, to parents of Portuguese and Brazilian descent, is an American rock musician, songwriter, and record producer.
Once best known as the lead singer and primary songwriter of 4 Non Blondes, Perry has founded two record labels and has become a major songwriter and producer responsible for hit songs by a number of successful female singers such as Gwen Stefani ("What You Waiting For" from her album Love Angel Music Baby), Pink (who had a #1 hit with "Get the Party Started", written by Perry), and Christina Aguilera (who had a #1 hit with Perry's song "Beautiful"). Perry has also contributed heavily to albums by Courtney Love and Kelly Osbourne as well as signing and distributing James Blunt in the United States. After success with Pink, Perry's next big project came in the form of providing Christina Aguilera a career makeover with the international hit "Beautiful."
