Biography

Detroit, United States (2011 – present)

“My music is like if Britney Spears and Marilyn Manson fu**ed and had a kid, it would be me,” explained the 25-year-old Detroit native. “‘Cause it’s like dance-pop, but it’s industrial Marilyn Manson, Nine Inch Nails.” Her first single This Is What Rock N Roll Looks Like (feat. Lil Wayne) was released on March 29th 2011.

The This Is What Rock N Roll Looks Like Songfacts reports that she was born Alaina Marie Beaton on October 1, 1985 in Detroit. From birth up until the age of nine she grew up on the streets of 8 Mile, Warren, then moved to Sterling Heights MI and then to Rochester MI.

Beaton was discovered in The W hotel in NYC by her manager Marvin Howel and then moved to Los Angeles, California a month later where she got signed to Virgin Records (under Porcelain and The Tramps) the day after she moved. Black and Virgin could not agree on a musical direction, so she left the label and signed with producer RedOne’s 2101 Records Universal Republic imprint late in 2009. Beaton changed her name to Porcelain Black because it caused confusion to people who thought Porcelain and the Tramps was a band.

She had been busy for the past year writing and recording in the studio with JOHN LOWERY (more commonly known as JOHN 5 – the current guitarist for INDUSTRIAL band ROB ZOMBIE, and former guitarist for ROCK group MARILYN MANSON) and a few others.

As of late 2010, Porcelain was signed to Universal Records under Red One. And is on tour with Lil Wayne on his I Am Music II Tour.

    It's amazing how much the weekly plays have dropped. I remember when she could get 1000 plays a week for either This Is What Rock N Roll Looks Like or Naughty Naughty.

    Agreed, Ivyxxo. It just makes every song sound too similar. I'm hoping the album isn't just a bunch of similar-sounding dance songs, because she can do more than that.

    I'm still waiting for a studio version of Mannequin Factory. But any news is good news, hopefully this means her album is out soon.

    Well I'm happy she's been working on new songs during this delay. Nice to see her perform also.

    Most of what I enjoy about her music is Porcelain herself and not the production. I love the production on This Is What Rock N Roll Looks Like and Mannequin Factory, but it does get a bit samey after a while. I'd enjoy some stuff not by RedOne. Speaking of which, Porcelain's a great performer, it's nice to see her doing more stuff.

    So I was listening to a live snippet of Mama Forgive Me (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6im9gM3oL0Y) and I've gotta say, I'm unimpressed with the song until the last 6 seconds, which are great. I think RedOne really needs to step up his game, or at least let someone else produce the album.
