Since dominating the airwaves with 4 Non Blondes’ breakthrough hit “What’s Up?” in 1992, Linda Perry has written and produced some of the biggest songs of the last couple of decades. Perry was responsible for Gwen Stefani’s “What You Waiting For?”, P!nk’s “Get The Party Started” and Christina Aguilera’s “Beautiful.” She’s also worked with some of the biggest names in the business, including Dolly Parton, Britney Spears, Alicia Keys, Courtney Love, and Celine Dion. Over the last few years she’s been working with Ringo Starr, a collaboration which has led to Perry writing and producing all of Starr’s upcoming EP, Crooked Boy. Speaking from her home studio in Los Angeles, Perry was clearly thrilled to be discussing the upcoming EP. As she said, “Who doesn’t love talking about Ringo?”

He was saying that he really liked my songwriting and wanted to know if I wanted to write a song for one of his EPs. He said, “Maybe every six months, I make a four song EP. I just want to have fun and put music out there. No big expectations. And would you like to write a song?” So that’s kind of how it started.

Could you ever have imagined as a kid that one day you’d be writing for a Beatle?
