Singer/Songwriter/Producer Linda Perry is one of the most sought after names in the music business, and is often created with bringing out the real artist in some of today’s most acclaimed artists.  As lead singer/songwriter for former Interscope recording artists 4 Non Blondes, she penned the early 90s mega hit “What’s Up,” that catapulted the band to international stardom with debut album sales of seven million copies worldwide.  She has toured with The Who, Aerosmith, Prince, Neil Young and Pearl Jam. Perry evolved from the 90s to her current incarnation as a true musical renaissance woman.  From her first major cuts and productions with P!nk – on the 12 million-plus selling, twice GRAMMY nominated album “M!ssundaztood,” to numerous hits penned and produced for such artists as Christina Aguilera (“Beautiful”), Alicia Keys (“Superwoman” & “Pray for Forgiveness”), Gwen Stefani, James Blunt and more, Perry is at the top of the game.

 

Perry is also a philanthropist, working closely with several organizations to promote charity, freedom of expression, individuality and acceptance.  By supporting organizations such as the L.A. Gay & Lesbian Center and the Art of Elysium, she helps inspire the community and members of the entertainment industry to act as citizens of the world.
