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 Santa Barbara Sheriff’s Department is installing extra security in the area in the form of license plate recognition cameras.
The Montecito Association sent out a warning to Harry and Meghan, as well as other residents, explaining the cameras were “in response to the high-value property crime we’ve experienced recently.” They added: The six high-tech cameras should give police a better idea who was in the area at the time of any given burglaries as they can identify not just license plate numbers but also make, model, and even body damage on passing cars.
