4 Non Blondes,
Linda Perry had her first hit with the 1992 single “What’s Up” – but that was only the first of many chart-topping songs that she has written. During the past three decades, Perry has established herself as one of the most successful songwriters in the rock and pop realms, penning megahits for
P!nk (“Get This Party Started”),
Christina Aguilera (“Beautiful”),
Gwen Stefani (“What You Waiting For?”), and dozens more. This year, Perry expanded her credentials even more, venturing into film composing with
Kid 90, a documentary that actress
Soleil Moon Frye made about her life (currently streaming on Hulu). Calling from her California home, Perry discusses this latest development in her career – and looks back on everything else she’s accomplished.
