Alaina Marie Beaton, née le 1er octobre 1985, plus connue sous son nom de scène Porcelain Black, est une chanteuse qui en mars 2011 dévoile son premier single This Is What Rock N Roll Looks Like en collaboration avec Lil Wayne et RedOne. Elle définit son style comme un métissage entre la dance et le rock industriel. Elle signa avec Virgin Records à 18 ans sous le nom de scène Porcelain & The Tramps. Son style de musique était cependant plus métal et émo, moins commercial, ce qui ne plaisait pas à la maison de disque, qui l'orienta sur un nouveau style. Elle signa alors avec RedOneen 2009.

Black grew up on 8 Mile in the Detroit, Michigan, area and later Sterling Heights. Her father was a hairstylist. He owned a hair salon and brought her along to fashion shows and photoshoots. Her parents separated when she was 6 years old. After her mother remarried, they settled in the affluent area of Rochester where she attended high school. Having lived in less affluent areas prior to the move, Black found that she did not fit in with her privileged classmates, becoming an outcast. She discovered that her biological father had cancer when she was 15, which affected her so much that she was expelled from school in three months for fighting. Two months later, she was expelled from another school. He died when she was 16. Black had taken part in national competitive dancing, taking jazz, hip-hop, tap and ballet lessons, since young and at one point was training to perform on Broadway. She also considered becoming a backup dancer. After being being expelled from her last school, Black ran away from home. She started begging, doing drugs and drinking while crashing at friends' houses at night. After going on tour with Armor for Sleep, she returned to Detroit and stopped taking drugs.
