Linda Perry‘s first solo effort was the album In Flight recorded with Bill Bottrell producing. In the late 1990’s she recorded After Hours. Neither of her solo efforts saw any commercial success, however in 2000 she was contacted by singer (and 4 Non Blondes enthusiast) Pink and her career as writer/producer took off like a rocket. During the past twenty years Linda has successfully worked with many artists, usually female, including Christina Aguelera and Courtney Love. She is considered among the most successful pop music producers working today. She was nominated for a Grammy for Producer of the Year in 2019, the first nomination of a woman since 2004. You can watch VH-1 Behind the Music episode about her here.

During the past 10 years she has played with artists including singer-songwriter Kiya Heartwood (Stealing Horses, Wishing Chair), Bob Malone (John Fogerty), and Susan Gibson (who wrote “Wide Open Spaces” for the Dixie Chicks) and LA based songwriter Gina Villalobos. She has also been self-employed as an artist/designer working in interactive media. She currently lives in Berkeley, California.

Wanda Day played in the Bay Area rock band Malibu Barbie after parting ways with 4 Non Blondes. She eventually moved back to her home state of Utah, and died in 1997 as a result of complications from drug use.


In early 1999 Linda and Christa toured as a duet opening for Bryan Adams, and then a few months later Christa recruited her friend Claudia Paige to join them on drums and the trio did a tour to promote Linda’s latest solo album entitled “After Hours“.

The band reunited in May 2014 at an event Linda Perry produced called “An Evening With Women” which benefits the LA LGBT Center. There was a charity auction (that raised $750,000.00) which proceeded the show. The event was hosted by Margaret Cho. In addition to 4 Non Blondes, there were performances by Evan Rachel Wood, Milla Jovovich and Rumor Willis. Michelle Rodriguez DJ’d the after-party.
