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.

Elsewhere in the clip, the singer revealed the tracklist for her upcoming new album ’143’ on a billboard.It was subsequently alleged that the video – directed by frequent Bad Bunny collaborator Stillz – contained unauthorised filming on Spain’s Balearic Islands, and an investigation was launched.In a statement, the Balearic Islands’s Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and the Natural Environment said that the production company behind the ‘Lifetimes’ visuals had failed to seek “authorisation from the Regional Ministry to carry out the filming”.“That is why preliminary investigation actions have been initiated,” it continued.Despite this, the statement went on to say that Perry’s actions were not a “crime against the environment” and instead an infringement – stating that general photography and filming “can be authorised” in the location.A spokesperson from Perry’s label, Capitol Records, has now responded in a statement obtained by The Independent. “The local video production company assured us that all necessary permits for the video were secure,” they said.“We have since learned that one permit was in process, although we were given verbal authority to go ahead.
Our local crew on July 22 applied for a permit for this specific location with the Directorate-General For Coasts And Coastline.”They continued: “Our crew received verbal approval on July 26 to proceed with the filming on July 27.
