An accomplished singer, Pearl had previously provided background vocals on several of her father's tours as well as for MÖTLEY CRÜE as one of the "Crüe Sluts". She can also be heard singing a duet with Meat Loaf on Meat's "Couldn't Have Said It Better" CD, in the track "Man of Steel" (co-written by MÖTLEY CRÜE bassist Nikki Sixx). Most recently, Pearl performed backing vocals for SIXX: A.M., the new band led by MÖTLEY CRÜE bassist Nikki Sixx, on July 16, 2007 at the Crash Mansion in downtown Los Angeles and on October 25 as part of a Halloween-themed radio festival in West Valley City, Utah.
