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.
Teen Brianna Collichio from Spencerport, N.Y., seriously impressed judges Lionel Richie, Katy Perry, and Luke Bryan on Sunday’s episode of “American Idol”.
The 15-year-old has been performing publicly since she was just six. At just 11 years old, the talented young lady sang the national anthem in front of 70,000 New York Jets fans.
Collichio also discussed her struggle with cystic fibrosis — a disease that damages the lungs — while pursuing a career as a singer. “I want to be an example of courage and hope and I want to inspire people, even if it’s just one person,” she told WHAM-TV last year.
