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 revealed how she kept her pregnancy a secret - by hiding her stomach behind big bags and "sucking it in". The pop singer, 35, confirmed she was carrying her first child with fiancé Orlando Bloom after sharing her newest music video, Never Worn White.
The video showed Katy cradling a very visible baby bump as she wore a sheer white dress. After dropping the video, she then informed her followers of how she had managed to hide the bump for so long.
She wrote: "Omg so glad I don't have to suck it in anymore. "... or carry around a big purse lol." This is the Firework songstress' first child with Orlando Bloom, while the 43-year-old actor is already father to son Flynn, nine, with ex-wife Miranda Kerr.
