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 is fast approaching her due date. And her other half Orlando Bloom, 43, has already dished on his hopes for their unborn daughter to be a "daddy's girl." The British actor - who is father to son Flynn with ex wife Miranda Kerr - shared on wanting to be the apple of his daughter's eye during an appearance on The Tonight Show on Tuesday.
Proving that Carnival Row star Orlando is full of glee at the prospect of having a girl, he shared: "I'm so excited to have a little daddy's girl! "I hope she's going to love me as much as I love her.
But that daddy's girl thing, that love of your life feeling, I think is right around there." The Pirates of the Caribbean star fell for Katie at a showbiz party in 2016.
