Alison Mosshart is an American singer, songwriter, and occasional model best known as the lead vocalist for the indie rock band The Kills and blues rock band The Dead Weather. She started her musical career in 1995 with the Florida punk rock band Discount which disbanded in 2000. She then co-founded The Kills with British guitarist Jamie Hince (formerly of Scarfo and Blyth Power) in 2000.

In The Kills, Mosshart is known by her stage name "VV" and Hince is known as "Hotel". In early 2009, she joined the supergroup The Dead Weather, formed by Jack White, along with Jack Lawrence and Dean Fertita. In that band, her stage name is "Baby Ruthless." Mosshart is one of the original members of the blues rock band The Dead Weather, formed in late 2008. She had been involved with previous performances with Jack White and Jack Lawrence and The Raconteurs. She sings lead vocals and plays rhythm guitar. She co-wrote (along with Dean Fertita) the band's first single "Hang You from the Heavens" which was released on March 11, 2009. Mosshart also wrote So Far From Your Weapon and co-wrote eight of the original ten tracks on their debut album Horehound. In 2010, a second album - Sea of Cowards - was released. The lead single, Die By The Drop, was written by Mosshart, Fertita, and Lawrence. Mosshart and White jammed with Seasick Steve and John Paul Jones for the 2011 ITUNES Festival. White's Third Man Record will soon release a book made by Mosshart for her three bandmates called Shark Infested Soda Fountain containing pictures they have made during their tour.

She recently joined Jack White on stage for his show at Bridge School Benefit to perform I Cut Like A Buffalo (from The Dead Weather) and Love Interruption with him while Dean Fertita was playing guitar. In 2008, Midnight Boom was released, and singles "U R A Fever", "Cheap and Cheerful", and "Sour Cherry" got much more exposure than The Kills' previous singles on shows and movies like House M.D., 90210, The House Bunny, Friday The 13th (2009 film), and The Losers.
