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, 36, was a mother on a mission while shopping with daughter Daisy Dove, 11 months, in Paris, France on Wednesday, July 7.
The “Teenage Dream” songstress was seen holding onto her baby girl while walking around some local stores in Saint-Germain-des-Prés.
Katy wore a denim mini dress and ballet shoes as she held baby Daisy with one hand while her other hand sported a tan handbag to store her belongings.
She finished off her look with small gold hoop earrings and a blue facemask that covered her nose and mouth. Orlando Bloom, 44, opted not to join his fiancée and daughter on the shopping spree, but was seen standing outside the stores in photos obtained by the Daily Mail.
