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 says she and Orlando Bloom want their unborn baby to choose her own name. The Fireworks hitmaker, 35, is expecting a little girl with her fiancé, Pirates of the Caribbean star Orlando, 43.
And while they've got a shortlist of name they like, the pregnant star said she won't know what her baby's called until she arrives in the world.
She told Karson and Kennedy on Boston's Mix 104.1 : "We have yet to decide specifically on her name because, I think, we've got options and she'll tell us. "I'll look at her and go, 'Oh yeah, yeah, you are her, you are that'." Katy also opened up about the emotional rollercoaster pregnancy has taken her on.
