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.

The couple then performed their original country song “Fast Forever”, with Kaylin in particular showing off her vocal chops. “Kaylin, your voice just cut through massively,” Bryan said afterward. “You’ve got a big, ‘stand out in the spotlight and let it rip’ voice.” He then noted that Matt’s voice was more “laid back” and “California” style. “I mean, he was in a complementary position,” Lionel Richie said, with Katy Perry adding, “Matt, you didn’t shine as much in the duet, but you definitely have a grit to your voice.” READ MORE: Jay Copeland Nabs Final Platinum Ticket After Performing Incredible Stevie Wonder Cover On ‘American Idol’ After pushing Matt to expand the range of his voice, the judges speculated that Kaylin might be more ready for the competition. “I’d be ready,” she agreed.
While Richie voted yes on Matt, Perry and Shelton gave him nos. But thankfully, Kaylin got three yeses, sending her to Hollywood. “You’re gonna need Matt as a rock,” Richie told her. “Because it is not just going to be a cake walk.”
