, or rather Katheryn Elizabeth Hudson, was born on October 25, 1984 in Santa Barbara in the family of a pastor. The environment in which she grew up was important for her artistic development. Her passion for music, especially gospel, which she had since childhood, and her undeniable vocal skills, she trained in the church choir.
Katy Perry started her career in a Christian band. Then she sang about “kissing a woman”
She made her debut on the recording market in 2001 with the album “Katy Hudson”, which, contrary to expectations, did not achieve commercial success. Without much success, she also released several music videos, including the songs “A Cup of Coffee” and “Diamonds”. She was not discouraged and started preparing material for the next album, at the same time singing in the backing vocals of POD, a Christian nu metal band. She sang the final part of their song “Goodbye for Now” from the album “Testify”, which received a positive response from the listeners.
However, the real breakthrough in her career came only at the end of 2007, when she came under the wing of Virgin Records. Then she released the controversial “Ur So Gay”, and a few months later “I Kissed a Girl”. While the first one went almost unnoticed, the second one made an instant sensation, becoming number one in as many as 30 countries around the world, which gave it the title of one of the biggest hits of the year. On the wave of this achievement, she released the album “One of the Boys”, which, despite negative opinions from critics, sold over 5 million copies and received platinum status, among others. in the USA and Canada.
Almost 20 years have passed since her debut. Katy Perry has undergone a spectacular metamorphosis
Today, Katy Perry is considered one of the most popular contemporary artists. Although she mainly creates pop, her songs also contain stronger sounds. Her discography consists of a total of 6 studio albums and slightly less, which still dominate the charts. “Firework”, “Wide Awake” and “Roar” are just a few gems from her extensive repertoire. Since 2009, the artist has been regularly meeting fans during live performances, and her concert tours cover various corners of the world.
It must be admitted that since its debut, not only its sound, but also its image has undergone a spectacular metamorphosis. She no longer gives the impression of a modest girl with Christian values. Although she avoids topics related to faith in interviews, it is impossible not to notice that her approach to life and the way she expresses herself have changed. She boldly presents her charms in short outfits, and often experiments with makeup and hair color.
