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.
The singer took to Twitter to open up about her struggle, reports dailymail.co.uk. "Sometimes I don't know what's worse trying to avoid the virus or the waves of depression that come with this new norm," she tweeted.
As soon as she confessed about her struggle, she got huge support from her fans, urging her to remain strong. "We love you so much.
We're together in this," one tweeted. "Your music is the only thing getting me through it," wrote another, while one fan reminded Perry that she was expecting a daughter with Bloom. "Just remember the little light of your life will be in your arms soon," wrote the user.
