Allison sits down with the living legend, Linda Perry, a Songwriters Hall of Fame inductee as well as a Grammy and Golden Globe nominated singer-songwriter, musician, and record producer whose powerful voice both literally and figuratively continues to inspire and influence. She first made her mark with her band 4 Non Blondes whose 1993 single “What’s Up?” was a defining song of the era and recently hit 1 billion streams on Spotify and almost 2 billion on YouTube. She has penned hits for countless artists including Dolly Parton, Christina Aguilera, Gwen Stefani, and Pink and is a trailblazer, an innovator, a pioneer, and a devoted mother. They talk all about the return of 4 Non Blondes after 30 Years, her extremely vulnerable documentary about her life, what motherhood has taught her, and who Linda Perry is today. • Watch & Subscribe https://youtube.com/AllisonHagendorf • Listen & Follow: https://link.chtbl.com/TheAllisonHagendorfShow • Follow Allison: Official Website: https://allisonhagendorf.com https://instagram.com/allisonhagendorf https://TikTok.com/@allisonhagendorf https://twitter.com/allihagendorf The Allison Hagendorf Shop: https://allisonhagendorf.myshopify.com An A-Game Production / Recorded at Danny Wimmer Presents Studios Produced by Allison Hagendorf, Brian Jaffe, & Jake Miller Guest gift bags - Arctic Zone https://arcticzone.com Photos & BTS by IAM Scene Films Show Open Created & Edited by Guerilla McGavin https://instagram.com/guerillamcgavin https://guerillamcgavin.com Show Open Music (Courtesy of Island Records): Kid Brunswick - Bipolar Rhapsody - https://sptfy.com/Q31a Show Music: Ferdinand fka Left Boy - Sex Party - https://spoti.fi/3juqX1O #LindaPerry #4NonBlondes #AllisonHagendorf 00:00 - Show Open 01:52 - Linda Perry Interview 05:27 - What’s Up?
