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.

Katy got booed. Katy got booed.”Despite the audience’s negative reaction, Perry did not seem upset by the booing.“Okay, first time in six seasons, woo hoo,” she commented as something of a dismissal of the jeers.She then explained to Buzaladze what she meant, hopefully smoothing it all out. “What I’m saying is that I’d like you to flip the script.
