"I'm such a weirdo, anxiety-ridden, stressed-out control freak. I don't know how to have fun, so I'm doing my best. This confession came moments after Perry had been laughing and smiling with her bandmates, performing new material and favorites including their 1993 hit "What's Up?" at a sold-out Roxy Theatre performance."
"Yet Perry, 62, has never truly been in the shadows. Her portfolio spans an exceptional range of some of the biggest names in music - from Christina Aguilera, Dolly Parton and Pink to Ringo Starr, Alicia Keys and Gwen Stefani. She's written hit songs, received Grammy and Golden Globe nominations and was inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame in 2015."
"Today, Perry sits in the control room of her Sherman Oaks recording studio, an eclectic blend of rock and roll and zen. A console features a Daruma doll, a miniature vintage sports car and a tiny replica of Perry holding her child, Rhodes. The main space is filled with musical instruments, a Buddha statue, a Yoda doll, a skull, and glam platform boots perched atop a piano."
Linda Perry, frontwoman of 4 Non Blondes, is experiencing a major career resurgence with the band's reunion over three decades after their formation and the release of her first solo album since 1996 titled "Let It Die Here." A documentary about her life and work is also in production. Perry has spent decades as a prolific songwriter and producer for major artists including Christina Aguilera, Pink, Dolly Parton, and Alicia Keys, earning Grammy and Golden Globe nominations and induction into the Songwriters Hall of Fame in 2015. Despite her extensive accomplishments and undeniable talent, Perry remains self-critical and struggles with anxiety and perfectionism. Her Sherman Oaks recording studio reflects her eclectic personality, blending rock and roll aesthetics with zen elements.
