Mini bio
How it started.
Belinda grew up in California and entered the Los Angeles punk scene, briefly drumming for the Germs under the name Dottie Danger. She joined the Go-Go’s as lead singer in 1978. Their 1981 debut Beauty and the Beat brought “Our Lips Are Sealed” and “We Got the Beat” to a wider audience and reached No. 1 on the Billboard 200.
Finding her solo voice.
After the Go-Go’s split in 1985, Belinda began a solo career. Her debut album Belinda arrived in 1986, with “Mad About You” reaching No. 3 in the US. “Heaven Is a Place on Earth” became a UK No. 1, and Runaway Horses followed in 1989.
Following her curiosity.
Her later recordings include the French-language Voilà, the chant-based Wilder Shores and Kismet, a 2023 EP of Diane Warren songs. For 2025’s Once Upon a Time in California, she returned to the radio music she loved growing up.
Beyond the stage.
Belinda co-founded Animal People Alliance and uses performances and fundraising events to support its work. In October 2026, she spoke about a planned donkey sanctuary in Mexico and said she was working on another album.
