Katheryn Elizabeth Hudson, known professionally as Katy Perry, was born on October 25, 1984. She is an American singer, songwriter, and television judge.

She is well known to be an influence on the pop sound and style of the 2010s. However, her career didn’t start with the foundation one might expect.

She began her career at 16 with gospel music, releasing a commercially unsuccessful debut album, Katy Hudson (2001), under Red Hill Records.

She later moved to Los Angeles at 17 and ventured into secular music under the name Katy Perry.

She was born in a Christian home to Pentecostal pastors Mary Christine Hudson and Maurice Keith Hudson.
