NAME:
Katheryn Hudson
OCCUPATION: Songwriter, Singer
BIRTH DATE: October 25, 1984 (Age: 27)
EDUCATION: Dos Pueblos High School
PLACE OF BIRTH: Santa Barbara, California
ZODIAC SIGN: Scorpio
Singer, songwriter, and musician. Born Katheryn Hudson on October 25, 1984, in Santa Barbara, California. Known for her over-the-top fashions, quirky stage props, and catchy songs, Katy Perry has become a pop music sensation.
Fans might be surprised to learn that the singer who writes about sexual exploration in "I Kissed a Girl" grew up in a very conservative family. Both of her parents are pastors, and they refused to let her listen to any rock or popular music. "The only things I was allowed to listen to were the Sister Act 1 and 2 soundtracks," Perry told Entertainment Weekly. She and her two siblings were also not permitted to watch such cable channels as MTV and VH1.
Perry started taking singing lessons around the age of 9 and learned to play guitar when she was 13. Around this time, she began rebelling against her strict upbringing by piercing her own nose. She soon became interested in pursuing a career in music. With her mother, Perry made several trips to Nashville to record a gospel album, Katy Hudson, which was released in 2001. "It reached literally maybe 100 people, and then the label went bankrupt," Perry explained to Entertainment Weekly.
Focused on her music, Perry got her GED and moved to Los Angeles to work with producer and songwriter Glen Ballard, who had worked with such artists as Christina Aguilera and Alanis Morissette. She was only 17 years old at time, and being on her own proved tough. "It was five years of living in L.A. with no money, writing bad checks, selling my clothes to make rent, [and] borrowing money," she told Seventeen magazine. Perry also experienced a string of disappointments before getting her big break. She and Ballard were unable to find a record company willing to take them on, and her 2004 collaboration with music producers-turned-performers The Matrix was scrapped shortly before the project was to be released. After having three record deals fall apart, Perry finally signed with Capitol in 2007.
Katy Perry also became famous for her theatricality. On the Warped Tour, she performed "I Kissed a Girl" with a giant tube of lip balm, referencing a line in the song. Perry has also jumped into a larger-than-life cake and appeared in a number of wild outfits while onstage. She has described her style as "Lucille Ball meets Bob Mackie. It's about innuendo. I want everybody to get the joke, but I want them to think about it for a minute," she explained to Esquire magazine.
The young pop star has great ambitions for her future. "Ultimately I want Katy Perry to be as much of a household name as Madonna," she told Entertainment Weekly. Her album Teenage Dreams was released in August 2010. The single from the album, "California Gurls," quickly rose through the charts to #1 on the Billboard charts. With a signature perfume and film role opportunities heading her way, she may just make her dream come true.
She’s the second child of three siblings. She has an older sister and a younger brother.
She grew up in a very religious family with both parents being pastors. Her father (Keith Hudson) was an ex- groupie in the 1960s and her mother (Mary Perry) divorced her first Zimbabwean husband because of a "stormy" relationship. Must say, interesting career choice indeed
Katy owns a cat, creatively named Kitty Purry.
The number nine seems to be Katy’s favourite number. She began singing in the church choir, she started taking singing lessons and she enrolled at the Music Academy of the West for a while, where she studied Italian Opera - all at the age of nine!
She recorded her first album at the age of 15 under Christian record label, Red Hill. Performing as Katy Hudson, she released this self-titled Christian-rock album in 2001. Sadly, because of Red Hill’s closure, this album failed before she could leave any impression.
Katy says she met her boyfriend Russell Brand by throwing a bottle at him.
She left home at the age of 17 to pursue her music career. She was signed by Island Def Jam Music Group and went to Los Angeles to work on a new album, which unfortunately never saw the light of day.
In 2004 she signed with Columbia Records. She almost finished an album, but then they also dropped her...poor Katy!
In 2006, she starred in Gym Class Heroes’ music video for Cupid’s Chokehold in which she played the eventual love interest of the lead singer Travis McCoy.
In early 2007 Katy was signed by Capitol Music where she began recording songs for her official mainstream album One of The Boys, which was released in 2008.
The album's hit single, I Kissed a Girl was released in May 2008 and peaked at number one for seven weeks on the Billboard Hot 100.
Katy was still dating Travis when she recorded the video for I Kissed a Girl. Travis also has a cameo in the video.
Katy has landed the role of Smurfette in the Smurfs movie, due in 2011.
Fans have taken to throwing cherry Chapstick at Katy when she performs I Kissed A Girl on stage.
Katy says she was not allowed to listen to secular music as a child, and got into trouble one day for singing Alanis Morissette's Ironic in the school playground.
Katy is releasing her own perfume named... "Purr".
She appeared as herself in a 2008 episode of The Young and the Restless.
Katy nearly caused a glitter war when she tweeted that blasphemy as entertainment was "cheap" – referring to Lady Gaga's Alejandro video.
She is a natural blonde.

Early Musical Influences
As a teenager, Perry was exposed to other musical influences. One friend introduced her to the music of Queen, which remains one of her favorite groups. "I'm very inspired by Freddie Mercury and how flamboyant and theatrical he was," she told fashion magazine WWD. In high school, she strove to be her own person, choosing not to limit herself to one social group. "I was a hop-around. I hung out with the rockabilly crew, the guys who were trying to be rappers, the funny kids," she told Seventeen magazine.Focused on her music, Perry got her GED and moved to Los Angeles to work with producer and songwriter Glen Ballard, who had worked with such artists as Christina Aguilera and Alanis Morissette. She was only 17 years old at time, and being on her own proved tough.

Breakout Songs
Later that year, Perry released her first single, "Ur So Gay." Pop superstar Madonna became a fan of the song, calling it one of her favorites of the moment. The song drew comparisons to the likes of Lily Allen, another singer known for her quirky, cheeky lyrics. Perry said the single was inspired by the emo scene, and the "guys with guy-liner who use flatirons." Still, her career did not fully take off until the release of her next single, "I Kissed a Girl," which reached the top of the charts during the summer of 2008. With that song's success, her debut album, One of the Boys, made it into the Top 10 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. The song also earned Perry a Grammy Award nomination for Best Female Pop Vocal Performance.Katy Perry also became famous for her theatricality.

Continued Success
In 2009, Perry appeared in her own acoustic special on MTV. The soundtrack from the show, Katy Perry: MTV Unplugged, was released around the same time. That same year, Perry made tabloid headlines for her relationship with British comedian Russell Brand. The couple became engaged over the New Year's holiday while on a trip to India. On October 23, 2010, the couple married in India in a traditional Hindu ceremony. According to The Times of India, the wedding featured a procession of camels, elephants and horses, plus fire jugglers, snake charmers, dancers and musicians. Perry had previously dated Travis McCoy from the band Gym Class Heroes.The young pop star has great ambitions for her future.
