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 brought some fashion drama to the New York City streets this week! The 38-year-old singer was spotted out promoting the current season of American Idol, and put on a fashion show of chic looks en route to a handful of press interviews on Tuesday (March 28).
At one point, Katy changed from a chic white trench coat, into a sherpa lined one, before switching it up to a bright yellow moto jacket.
Later on, Katy stepped out in a pink fringe ensemble that turned heads. During her appearance on Good Morning America with fellow judges Luke Bryan and Lionel Richie, Katy opened up about her pre-show rituals.
