Sara Beck, better known by her stage name Pink Nasty, is an American singer-songwriter. She is from Wichita, Kansas and currently lives in Austin, Texas.[1] Pink Nasty has released three full-length albums. She performs with her brother, a rapper who goes by the stage name Black Nasty.[1]

Kathryn Yu of NPR described Pink Nasty as a "young and talented singer-songwriter whose quirky alt-country songs nicely complement her pretty but powerful voice".[1] The song "Don't Ever Change" on her second album, Mold the Gold features Pink Nasty and Bonnie Prince Billy.[1] She has opened for notable indie music acts Britt Daniel and José González.[2]

Pink Nasty's third album, Pink Nasty was released in 2010. Reviews on the Oxford American and Austin 360 websites praise the album's blend of quirkiness and pop.[3][4]
