Katheryn Elizabeth Hudson (born October 25, 1984), known professionally as Katy Perry, is an American singer, songwriter, and television judge. After singing in church during her childhood, she pursued a career in gospel music as a teenager.
Perry signed with Red Hill Records and released her debut studio album Katy Hudson under her birth name in 2001, which was commercially unsuccessful. She moved to Los Angeles the following year to venture into secular music after Red Hill ceased operations and she subsequently began working with producers Glen Ballard, Dr. Luke, and Max Martin.
After adopting the stage name Katy Perry and being dropped by The Island Def Jam Music Group and Columbia Records, she signed a recording contract with Capitol Records in April 2007.
Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom have gone to extreme lengths to protest against the American voting system. In a video released today, the couple appear on screen in their seventies looking bedraggled in a bunker in a post-apocalyptic world where 'democracy is dead'.
Looking unrecognisable to their usual glam selves the pair broadcast the 'transmission from the future', supposed to be set in 2055, calling on Americans to call their senators in support of their voting rights.
The political organisation RepresentUs released the ad with the couple in support of the For The People Act, a voting rights bill that is set to be presented to the American Senate next week.
