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 Miranda Kerr are becoming close pals. The singer, 36, who just gave birth to her first child, daughter Daisy Dove, with fiancé Orlando Bloom, hung out with Kerr during a special yoga session.
Kerr shares her oldest son, Flynn, 10, with Bloom, whom she was married to between 2010 and 2013. The model, 38, has since married Evan Spiegel and welcomed two more children, Hart, 3, and Myles, 1. “Spent my #wellnesswednesday with my gal @mirandakerr,” Perry captioned a series of photos and videos on Instagram.
