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 are getting ready to meet their baby daughter, and ahead of her due date, the American Idol star shared a new photo of her blossoming bump.
The award-winning singer took to Instagram on Monday to share a picture of herself posing in a personalised Smile crop top, and another picture of herself modelling a matching face mask, both of which were made to promote her latest single.
