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 can't keep her hands off her man. The 36-year-old "American Idol" judge was recently spotted in Capri, Italy, getting cozy with her fiancé, "Retaliation" star Orlando Bloom.
During a boating adventure, the two embraced for a loving kiss while Perry, 36, reached down and grabbed the 44-year-old actor's buttocks.
For their romantic outing, Perry wore a black one-piece swimsuit with her bright blonde hair pulled back while Bloom wore only red swimming trunks.
Their smooch took place on the stairs of a boat on the water off the Italian coast. Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom couldn't keep their hands off each other during a luxury yacht day in Capri, Italy.
