Who is Katy Perry?
Mary Christine and Maurice Keith Hudson welcomed Katheryn Elizabeth Hudson into the world on October 25, 1984, in Santa Barbara, California, under the stage name Katy Perry. Perry was raised in a Catholic household and spent her entire childhood attending religious institutions and summer camps. Due to Perry’s parents’ financial difficulties, the family occasionally used food banks and food stamps. Young Perry started singing, and when she was 13 she got her first guitar. She graduated early from high school to focus on her singing career. Perry prays frequently despite not identifying as religious.
After being dropped by Columbia Records, Katy Perry’s demos were brought to Virgin Records by Angelica Cob-Baehler. She was signed to Capitol Records and collaborated with Dr Luke on “I Kissed a Girl” and “Hot n Cold.” Perry released her album One of the Boys in 2008 and embarked on her first world tour to support it. She won the award for Best New Act at the 2008 MTV Europe Music Awards and International Female Solo Artist at the 2009 Brit Awards. Perry also recorded a live album titled MTV Unplugged and appeared on two singles with other artists. In her personal life, she split up and reconciled briefly with Travie McCoy before ending their relationship in 2009. She met her future husband, Russell Brand, while filming a cameo appearance for his film Get Him to the Greek, and they became engaged in December 2009 while on a vacation in India.
After appearing as a guest judge on American Idol, Katy Perry released the song “California Gurls” with Snoop Dogg in May 2010. From her third album, Teenage Dream, which debuted at the top of the Billboard 200, the song served as the first single. The album earned Perry the 2011 Juno Award for International Album of the Year. It had six singles that peaked in the top five on the Billboard Hot 100. From February 2011 through January 2012, Perry undertook her second tour, the California Dreams Tour, in support of Teenage Dream. Additionally, she made other TV and movie appearances, including The Smurfs. In 2010, Katy Perry married Russell Brand in India, but they divorced after 14 months. Perry said career conflicts and different priorities ended the marriage. She later dated John Mayer.
Perry released the singles “Daisies” and “Smile” for her sixth album after revealing her pregnancy in the music video for “Never Worn White.” Two days prior to the album’s scheduled release in August 2020, she gave birth to her daughter. The album was marketed with four EPs and a music video for the song “Not the End of the World,” which featured Zooey Deschanel, despite receiving mixed reviews. Perry also worked on remixes for the songs on her album alongside Tisto and Bruno Martini.
