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.

KATY Perry was spotted for the first time since she gave birth to her first child, Daisy, with fiancé Orlando Bloom. The 35-year-old pop star stepped out in public for the first time post-partum and splurged at a home goods store in her Santa Barbara, CA hometown - where she welcomed her newborn daughter last month.
