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 have taken their love to Italy! The lovebirds are spending time in Venice with their daughter, Daisy Dove, 10 months, and Orlando’s son with Miranda Kerr, who is 10.
However, they managed to score some alone time for an afternoon gondola ride on June 13. They were also photographed taking in the gorgeous views of Venice from a bridge, where they kissed on the lips and took a selfie of it.
Photographers caught them in the act as they packed on the PDA. Katy and Orlando were also spotted enjoying a boat ride with little Daisy during their trip.
The 10-month-old is already quite a jet setter, as she also took a trip to Hawaii with her famous parents earlier this year.
