Katy Perry Biography
Katheryn Elizabeth Hudson was born in Santa Barbara (CA). She is a daughter of Maurice Hudson and Mary Perry, the pastors. Katy is the second of three children of Mary and Maurice. The girl had a musical talent from the childhood, but she was not allowed to listen to pop music. Her parents were devoted to their religion; they turned to God faith after their too immoral youth, as they used to say.
Katy sang in a church choir and listened to church gospel, but she was not “a good girl” (according to her own words) and till now the star is not religious. She attended Dos Pueblos High School and graduated in 2003. Then she changed her name from Hudson to Perry as she was going to make career in show business and she didn’t want to be mixed with the actress Kate Hudson.
When Katy Perry got older, she started to listen to the music of such bands as “Nirvana” and “Queen” and it influenced her so much!
Katy Perry released her first album in 2001 that was called “Kate Hudson”. It was not successful, that’s why the young performer joined the group “The Matrix” and was going to record the album with them, but their cooperation stopped suddenly.
In 2007 the singer’s name became worldwide known after her two contradictory hits as “Ur So Gay” and “I Kissed the Girl”. Although the star was called homophobic, she became popular.
In 7 years after releasing her first disc, Katy Perry finally released her second one. It appeared in 2008 and was called “One of the Boys”.
In 2010 the star released her third, the most successful album, named “Teenage Dream”. It is unique to some extent as it included four hits that occupied the leading places in American Musical Charts.
Katy Perry is the first female artist (and the second one after Michael Jackson), whose 5 singles became world known hits. They are “Firework”, “E. T.”, “California Girls”, “Hot N Cold” and “I Kissed the Girl”. Katy Perry shows are watched and rewatched at YouTube millions times – and it makes the singer some extra cash.
